Any Miguel Cabrera bat experts out there?

[Marlins2003]

Why am I finding more and more Cabrera bats with #32 written (in what appears to be white out) on both ends of the bat?

[Marlins2003]

Doing a little looking around and I see that in 2005 Florida pitcher Travis Smith wore #32 and in 2007 Florida pitcher Justin Miller wore #32. Nobody on the team had that number in 2006.


Is there a good chance that Cabrera gave one of his Zinger bats to either of these pitchers to use as their own? And that is why I am seeing the #32 on several bats.


If so, in my opinion these are not Miguel Cabrera game used bats.


Finding photos of a pitcher batting seems to be the hardest thing to do.


Any opinions on this?

I feel your pain. I have been searching for 2 years for a photo of former Phillies pitcher Tom Underwood batting in 1977.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you, I wish you luck as well.


Do you think that my theory may be correct?

I wouldnt disagree, you just have to do some more research on all players involved. Check ebay for past sales of his bats.

Someone mentioned this to me.

Is there a chance that these are Cabrera game used bats and the 32 (in white out mind you) is a model numbers? Or maybe a significant number to Cabrera?


I don't think so. I believe the #32 is the uniform number of whoever he gave the bat to to use.


What says the game used experts?

The "32" should be the weight of the bat I believe

The most logical answer usually is the last one thought of lol


Is it common practice to write it in white out (or what appears to be white out)?

Well usually when I see something written in white, it's my first instinct to believe that it is silver sharpie.

I have a game used Cabrera bat, Cherry colored Zinger. It is autographed by Cabrera and he added "Game Used". Nowhere on the bat is there a "32". His uniform number of 24 is written in silver sharpie on the cupped end and on the knob. Hope this helps
