BP bats?
Do these have green ink transfers? Wouldn't they be BP bats?

Re: BP bats?
Player's use the same bat sometimes for both BP and the game. I've seen tons of bats before that have both green and blue ink transfers.

Re: BP bats?
Here's one quick example, this is a Rafael Furcal 2006 game used bat. As you can see, there is a blue ink transfer and also a green ink transfer:

Re: BP bats?
Baseballs for BP will have both the green practice and the mlb official ones. So how can we differenciate between the two?

Re: BP bats?
The green practice balls were also used in Spring Training...so these bats may be from Spring Training. I am pretty sure that the Nomar is a BP bat as he normally doesn't use natural bats in games.

Re: BP bats?
Definitely a mix of balls depending on what stadiums a player goes to. Some teams use OMLB "blem" balls for BP which would leave blue ink.
Kylehess is correct in many players do use their bats for BP and for game use so you could have a mixture.
I would find more problematic green transfers only or a bat manufacturer that wasn't consistent with a bat the player would use in a game ie- Piazza Rawlings, Soriano black bat, Pujols Xbat w/ flag, etc.
