Help! Looking for a photo match on a David Oritz gamer. Perhaps game video?

I recently purchased a game used David Ortiz bat from 2009. It is MLB authenticated as cracked on 8-24-09, a rather ho hum game for Ortiz - 0-5 with a strike out.

However, the interesting part is the prior games. Ortiz had the day off on 8-23-09, but on 8-22-09 he had a great game in a blowout win against the Yankees, 2-4 with a homer and 3 RBI. I have a photo from that game, and my bat seems right, but I cannot find a photo of the home run at bat. I have checked Getty, AP, USA Today, Google. There is a video on YouTube of the 8-22 game, but the quality is too low to pick out the details of the bat other than it is the right brand.

So, if anyone has a suggestion, I'd love to move this closer to a slam dunk. Owning a Big Papi gamer is a major win for me, owning a home run bat would be the icing on the cake.

Thanks for the help! Awesome!



This is from the same at bat - 6th inning of the game on 8-22-09. Maybe a fraction of a second before the photo you found, different angle. No doubt the bat in the picture is the bat I own. It seems extremely unlikely he would hit a home run in the 5th inning, then switch bats for the 6th. But I would love to see a pic of the HR at bat!

If any of you have followed this far, here is a youtube link to the game in question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkjeJBSzNxQ
The Home run at bat is at the 1:52 mark, and the photos here are at the 2:20 mark.
