David Ortiz question..

[33bird]

Here's a picture from 2004 where you can see my bat-no M9. I couldn't find any pictures that pictured the M9 on it.

Does the centerbrand look like the Vlad maple bat pictured below.

I think LVS came out with this centerbrand label in late 2003 and early 2004, then LVS switch to the sticker M9 logo. If you look at the Ortiz photo it has the same type of centerbrand.

I thought the M9 logo came out in 2005? Could be wrong. But, I got a Kent bat from 2004 M110 no M9, but his 2005 M110 has one. Yea, my bat looks like the one in the photo. I've included scans.

The M9 logo came out in 2004, I have some 2004 M9 Manny Ramirez Red Sox bats, the 2 black M9 bats and one of the wine colored M9 were obtained during the 2004 season. I was able to verify thru factory records that both wine colored bats were ordered in 2004.
