Bat Question David Wright

[dcrules01]

Is there a way to narrow down when a bat was used..I just picked this bad boy up and want to photo match it.Any help would be great..Thanks
It came from Steiner has a letter and 2 MLB stickers which of course are not in the system..

Scott,

Judging from the "005" lot code my guess it would be a bat used early possibly in April or maybe even during spring training.

Great pickup!

dcrules01,

I was looking at some David Wright photos that I had saved and I think I have a photo match for you, the photos are from a game vs the Atlanta Braves on either 4/21 or 4/22.

The numbers on both ends of the bat look to match up perfectly and some of the ball marks. I made the pics brighter so you can see the detail.

Let me know what you think!

Best Regards, Bobby

Great photos Bobby! I have the same question as Scott where did you get them?

Scott I think the number 5 on the barrell end and especially the number 5 on the knob (see the exact location it crosses the model number) and the hit marks at the time the photo was taken matches your bat.

The bat was definitely used more and more blue hit marks added before Wright eventually cracked and split into two.

BTW I have a similar Wright which also has the 005 lot number from this year which I picked up the 3rd week of April from Steiner.

I cant recall which website I saved the photos from, either http://www.amny.com/sports/ or yahoo sports.

Scott, you should download the game from mlb.com, heres the link to the box score: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/wrap.jsp?ymd...=.jsp&c_id=mlb

Nice bat are you going to have it repaired?

Thanks, Bobby
