2015 Mike Moustakas, photo matched to games between 9/16 and 9/19. Mike hit season home run #19 on the 16th and #20 on the 19th.

Wes,

This jersey has the postseason patch but was it used in the post season?

If not the Mets did the same thing.

The Royals put postseason and World Series patches on all four uniform variations. There are lots of postseason and World Series patched jerseys that never saw game use in PS or WS, but were used all regular season long. The majority of the PS and WS patched jerseys out there are authenticated as team issued but can be photo matched throughout regular season and were not used in PS or WS.

I do not believe it was post season used... though I wish it was..
TBM's post covers it... the equipment managers slapped patches on a whole bunch of stuff, just so they had it available in case they ended up needing it.

Thanks Guys. Mets did the same thing too.

So did the White Sox in 2005 with WS patches. The team only wore home pinstipes and road greys in the sweep...no home vests and no black alternates.

Here is one of my first game used bats I ever got. I purchased it off eBay around 10 or 11 years ago. When I bought it I probably paid more for shipping than the bat itself. It is a Carolina Clubs bat from Carlos Febles. Back in the late 90's and early 2000's he was one half of "Dos Carlos", the other half being Carlos Beltran. Febles had a good rookie year but fizzled out after that. Beltran, on the other hand, has had a great career. I now display this bat right below my GU signed Beltran bat that I picked up a few months ago. Looking up at those two bats brings back some great memories at the ballpark. Dos Carlos together again.

Try as I might I have not been able to locate a style match to this bat. However the taped knob seems to be something he did through his career. The tape on the knob is covered in pine tar. Both the knob and end of the barrel have his #3 hand written on them. There are ball marks on all sides of the barrel. The handle has a nice crack in it.

If anyone has more info that they can add I would be greatfull.
