Re: ever seen a mlb hologram on a bat during the game?
Hologramming a bat that was part of a milestone, but the player still wants to use, is an interesting but risky idea. (The hologram may be damaged or obscured by later use.)
I have seen items that had one hologram, but two citations: Eg when a fan bought a milestone bat or ball, then later had it autographed with an authenticator present, the hologram would be given a second citation in the database (adding the autograph) rather than a new hologram. That could potentially occur with a bat that's already hologrammed, if it is then used in another milestone.
Justin Smoak was a South Carolina Gamecock, playing on a field that was less than a half-mile from the minor-league field used by Ron Washington when he was a minor-league manager in Columbia. The two fields can be seen from each other, and I can see them both from my high-rise condo. Since my daughter and her family live in Arlington, I've several reasons to pull for the Rangers.
When Justin was a Gamecock, his choice of a batters' tune to play on the loudspeaker when he came to bat was "Just a good ol' boy."

Smoak also went to HS with the Orioles' Matt Wieters........That should have been a decent club!

Re: ever seen a mlb hologram on a bat during the game?
I noticed what I thought was a mlb holo on Longorias bat so I paused the game and took some pictures of it. This was from a game against the Yankees earlier in the season.

Re: ever seen a mlb hologram on a bat during the game?
The only time I've seen a MLB hologram on an item in a stadium was during 2008 during the final week of the season at Shea. MLB placed their hologram on all 55,000K seats prior to the end of the season.
Actually putting a hologram on a bat before a player uses it may be a way MLB can 100% ensure they are getting the correct bat from a player after that game. I can see this making the authentication process more foolproof.
Just a thought.metsbats86@aol.com
Always looking for 1973,1986,1988,1999,2000,2006 game used Mets post season and Bobby M. Jones and Ed Hearn NY Mets game used bats.

"They put a sticker on the end of my bat, kind of saying that this one’s done. But I’m still using it. Until it breaks.”
Not a closeup photo but looks like a MLB hologram bat he is swinging at last night's game. This is the same bat he used to hit 4 HR in a game.

Re: Mlb Authenticated Items Used After Being Authenticated
Saw in the Dallas paper today that Josh Hamilton's 4 home run bat was authenticated after the game and that he said he intends to continue to use it until it breaks. Don't know what the future intent is if that happens.

Re: Mlb Authenticated Items Used After Being Authenticated
It's going to the HOF. The Rangers announcers said Hamilton gave the HOF his Uniform and Cleats but told them they couldn't have the bat until after he cracked it
