    That would explain why it is so hammered with use.

    Batting Practice and even just rack marks are considered game used by most dealers . There is a 5 underneath the BP . Possibly the bat was game used then went to BP , that could explain all the use as well . It has a ton of pine tar and mota stick stuff .

    If its good enough for MLB to sell BP jerseys as game used . Also coaches , utility players and or mgrs jerseys who sat in the dugout ?? also all the TBTC stuff that is only game worn and NOT used ? just my take ...

    What may be good enough for MLB or a dealer is not necessarily good enough for me.

    A BP bat should be advertised as just that.

    Swing your bat in the on deck circle with a donut. Time the pitcher while taking that imaginary cut. Throw more pine tar on with the tar rag.

    Walk to the plate with your war club. Stand in the batter's box, gripping that handle, hoping for a hit. Tap the dirt from your cleats, made sure the trademark faces the right way, take a hand off the bat as you make a religious gesture and kiss the medallion hanging around your neck. Grip the bat again. Stare the pitcher down and swing a few more practice swings. Wait for the ball........

    That's game use to me!

    I was not agreeing with the current standards that are being used to describe game use ! just mentioning them .....
