Have seen a couple real nice bats lately that had a star inked on the knob near the player's inked number.
Could someone tell me why some bats have a star inked on the knob?
I have found a forum thread where one member says he put stars on bats he has restored, to denote such a repair. But I've also heard other explanations for a star on a bat: players liking the bat, players having home runs with the bat, etc etc.
Can anyone give me any factual reasons for stars being inked on bats or is it all just speculation as we don't really know?
Thanks in advance.

Mike
