Johan Santana Game Used Bat?

[gameused]

Vintage Authentics currently has a Johan Santana game used bat up for auction, I noticed that the stamped barrel looks like a Shannon Stewart signature(see the Am. Memorabilia link)

This bat should be labled a Shannon Stewart bat, game used by Johan Santana. What do you guys think?

Interesting......I've seen more odd ones though....currently at the Braves Clubhouse Store they have a Terry Pendleton game used bat signed by Rafael Furcal

It is a Shannon Stewart bat. No doubt about that.

I find the wear over the signature interesting.

There is no doubt it was ordered by Stewart even though it was likely used by Johan. Its funny that: "The bat is actually Johan's first Louisville Slugger used in his first interleague game experience in NL parks. It perfectly matches known exemplars for size and specs."

It perfectly matches known exemplars for size and specs."

It matches Shannon Stewarts and that is about it.

I don't think a player who has had 6 career hits has known exemplars and specs.
