Miguel Montero

[yanks12025]

Hello,
I just picked up this 2011 Miguel Montero bat and was wondering if someone with MLB games can watch some games for me if they have the time. Montero cracked it on May 31st,2011. I believe he used this bat off and on from April till May 31st. I've photo matched it to May 30th in which he hit a home run. I really think this may be one of the most used Montero bats out there, just tons of use.

Now the one photo is from April 24th, you can see the black marks going down the back of the barrel. So if someone could help with better screen shots from April 24th, 2011. Do you guys think it's a match(see red arrows)? Thanks

I think I found another match. Photo is from April 26th, so remember the bat would have been used for acouple more weeks and more use added on. Any thoughts guys? So far I've matched it to two 3-run homes-runs and acouple RBI Singles and doubles.

Over 150 views, yet no one can say Yes, No, Maybe to whether it's a photo match?

What has happened to this forum, used to have so much life. But now we'll be lucky to have 5 new threads in the discussion side.

Sorry to bring this up again, but does the first photo look like a match. The photo is from 4/23/2011, according to mlb hologram my bat was cracked on 5/31/2011. So I went through all of Montero's at-bats and noticed that the bat he used during 4/27/2011 looks like a different bat from mine(notice the circle white mark on the bat). Mine don't have the circle, so I'm wondering whether the bats are different from each other or the bat from 4/23 is the same as 4/27 but with more use???

Could two bats have racks marks that are almost the same. I also noticed on 5/14/2011 Montero used a brand new "At-bat", so maybe that's when he starte to use my bat. Could montero just switched between 2 of the same type of bats? Any thoughts, sorry I'm sure this is confusing

Here's a photo of the bat he used on 5/14. Can't tell if it could be mine or a different bat also. I know 100% my bat is photo-matched from 5/26th till he broke it on the 31st. Also during the period of 5/16 till 5/26 he used a different brand of bat. Might be the case that too much use hurts trying to photo-match it.

I'm confused about what you are asking.

In your last post, the first photo looks like a solid match. The second one with the circle - aren't you are highlighting the bottom half of the center band whereas you had matched the top half in the other photo? They shouldn't match.
