hello brian;

84-85 brand period. what do his orders look like for this model? thank you.

Re: jose cruz E28

He never ordered the E28 according to the records I'm looking over. He's ordered the K48 several times but no E28.

Re: jose cruz E28

ok. i know there is such a model because it is on my list of knobless bats.
i found one that is from 84-85, and it has his name. could it be that a teammate ordered that model with jose's name on it? it does have the other player's number marked on the knob.

craig reynolds wore #12 in 84-85. did he order that model?

Re: jose cruz E28

here is pic of the bat. let me know what you think.

Re: jose cruz E28

I never said there was no such model. In fact it is in our bat vault. What I said was I have no record of him ordering that model. What that means...I don't know. I just type his name into SAP and it tells me the orders that have been made for him. If it is missing an order I don't know how to check that since that is our old System80 that we were using before we switched to SAP in 1996.

Re: jose cruz E28

I just looked at the picture again...what is his FULL NAME on the bat? SAP will only tell me exactly what I type in it, nothing more.

So, if say you are looking for Brian Michael Hillerich and I type in Brian Hillerich it will not show up.

Re: jose cruz E28

Julio Cruz...there is a dot on the above the first name. He also ordered the E28.

12ea. Ash, E28, 34.5/32 WGFT 1984.
12ea. Ash, E28, 34/32 FT 1985.

Re: jose cruz E28

hi brian;
thank you for the work. the full name on the bat is jose "cheo" cruz.
is it possible that julio ordered that model with jose's name on it?

[BMH]

Re: jose cruz E28

No, we don't allow players to order bats with other player's names. All orders are entered by their names so that would mess up the system. You are correct, that does say Jose Chio Cruz. It still doesn't show up.

Re: jose cruz E28

ok. so what else can be done? or do we just leaeve it as a mystery bat?

Re: jose cruz E28

brian;
the bat is 34.5 and all the specifications point to that of julio cruz's. this is what i think happened. the bat was branded with the wrong cruz autograph. it matches all of julio's specs. what do you think?

Re: jose cruz E28

bmh;
what is your take on this? possible?

[BMH]

Re: jose cruz E28

Anything is possible I guess, I wasn't there when that bat was made.

Re: jose cruz E28

The signature is likely Jose "Cheo" Cruz, as "Cheo" was Jose's nickname.

Re: jose cruz E28

mike;
it is jose cheo cruz. but he didn't order that model, per bmh. all the specs match that of julio cruz bats!
