Dave Duncan bat (Pujols) on eBay

[bigtruck260]

I am guessing that this is a coach's bat of Duncan's - but the seller says the knob has AL on it (and there are pics). I have NEVER seen a Pujols bat with AL on it.

The seller states there is a strong possibility that Pujols used this bat.

Thoughts?

Dave,
While its a little tough to see, the tar is light like Pujols uses, but I have never seen him mark a bat AL... as well as the additional marks...

I would say no to the Pujols use... but you never know

Bert -

I checked Birdbats too...and don't remember seeing a Pujols C271 gamer before either.

OH!!! Just thought of something, duh.

It's a 1999 model (stamping) That answers it for me.

Thanks.

Dave

Actually - it is 1999-2001 stamping.

So,

That means that it could be (among other possibilities):

Albert Castillo - 1999
Alan Benes - 2000

Or, Duncan could have given his bat a nickname.
