Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

That is such a ripoff and false advertising, it really is a Tony Clark GU bat made for A-Rod.

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

I picked up this Luke Carlin B45 at Chase Field last night, and I was curious about the number change (to '6') on the knob, since that's Stephen Drew's number.









Sure enough, when I checked out the MLB hologram:

Hologram number LH383228 was located in the MLB Authentication Database under GAME-USED BROKEN BAT.

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

was watching the Jays game last night and they talked about Vernon Wells using Adam Lind's bat for about a week now. It was a black bat and he took a Black sharpie to cover up Lind's name on the bat.

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

Here's a link to the video of Manny Hitting his 542nd home run on Monday night, 8-31-09. I noticed he was using a Louisville Slugger. He seems to be using one a lot in the last couple of games.....I was wondering if he had ordered some?

When I got home, I watched the video. Upon closer inspection, he is using his teammates bat! You can clearly see the "14" on the knob at the beginning of the video....Juan Castro's bat!!

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

Just picked this up off ebay, thought it was pretty cool. Its a Roy White bat used by Willie Randolph. The bat has no White game use traits. It does have Willie's number and older style of his initital writing. Two Yankee fan favorites attributed to one bat!

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

Here's a couple pics I took this year:



Tommy Hanson Major League Debut - Yunel Escobar bat









Martin Prado - Tom Glavine Bat - Prado used the rest of Glavine's bats over a period of about 1-2 months. He used every last one left. He even had a Glavine Mets bat from 2 years ago!
