Just have some questions about this Cal Ripken bat that my friend won off ebay. I know that usually the '125' on the LS means that it was either a show bat or maybe store model? The bat in question is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290931556214...84.m1439.l2649

Does this seem like it may have been game used or used at all by Cal? I see the '8' on the knob but not sure if this is how Cal would have written his 8 there or not, also appears to have some cleat marks along the bat but just not sure at all what this bat could be.

Thanks for any help!
