Players using others players bats or other equipment

[godwulf]

I've noticed that often when a player is injured fairly early in the season and is done for the year, his bats seem to go up for grabs. One year I recall Danny Bautista had a serious shoulder injury and lost the whole last half of the season, and it seemed like everybody was swinging one of his bats, which I could tell a mile off from the distinctive tape job; I even saw Randy Johnson take one to the plate a few times. Last year, it was the same with Stephen Drew; I even saw one of Drew's bats in prospect Wagner Mateo's bag during the Arizona Summer League.

Just saw Andy Dirks of the Tigers using a black Austin Jackson marucci during his 9th inning strikeout

Thought this was interesting. Astros Bullpen Catcher Javier Bracamonte using a Kaz Matsui glove . . . with pink Mother's Day Ribbon added. This will likely show up as "game used" at some point . . .
