Interesting inscribed Ken Griffey JR gu bat

Change piece is a change up.

Possibly signed to a guy who threw BP to him.

Nate,

Excellent information. I found this website which mentions the three finger change piece.

You hit on the head. The change piece broke the bat in BP hence the inscription!

My guess is that Mario is Mario Soto former Reds pitching great who is in spring training now teaching the Reds youngsters the art of throwing the change piece. Soto possessed one of the nastiest change ups in the NL while he was pitching for the Reds.

I wouldn't be surprised he was pitching some BP and broke Juniors bat!

Wow I must say I am very impressed wiht every one here and I think this is one of thee first threads started where an item came in question and members here were able to disect the nature of the bat, by the autograph and inscription.

And it seems like you guys were able to come up with a highly likely answer that this was a BP bat that was given to a BP Pitcher from Jr..

Very Good Guys!!!!

[Game Used Bats]

To correct a previous post Griffey used LVS C271L all of 2007. Perhaps BMH can back this up?
