Alex Rodriguez HR 562 bat Ebay

[Rboitano]

I did some research on this bat, take a look at the knob in the photo of Arod hitting the homerun on June 13, it clearly has the new LVS stampings on the knob. Now look at the bat in the ebay auction, it does not have the stampings on the knob. I wonder if any of these Arod HR bats are really the bats that hit the HR.

Wow, makes you not want to touch any ARod inscribed items. First Tony's bat was proved that it wasn't as signed and now another example of a misinscribed item.

this bat has a MLB authetication sticker for 6/13 so maybe it was used from that game. Wouldn't MLB expand the description and say used for HR 562 if it was a HR bat?

here is the description:

You are bidding on a Game Used bat Hand Signed by ALEX RODRIGUEZ.
This bat was used 6/13/09, the day AROD hit is 562 career homerun!
Alex personally signed this bat in silver and inscribed it "GAME USED 6/13/09 CAREER #562 VS. METS OFF NIEVE".


Why doesn't the description say "this bat was used to hit HR 562" or something like that. It is disconserting to see this.

[QUOTE]

I bring up the MLB sticker due to my earlier interest in buying a Teixeira bat that was used by him on the day he hit for the cycle. There were 3 or 4 authenticated by MLB on that day and the seller could not validate that it was THE BAT used for the cycle.

Re: Alex Rodriguez HR 562 bat Ebay

wow.... it's at 3K with about an hour left

someone is going to over pay for it thinking it is the actual HR bat and being MLB authenticated

I can't see anything on the knob of the bat A-Rod is using in the picture. Is this the picture you are referring to?

Re: Alex Rodriguez HR 562 bat Ebay

I can faintly see the 2 half circles of information on the knob

Re: Alex Rodriguez HR 562 bat Ebay

Ain't all mlb bats made in 2009(LVS) supposed to have the numbers on the knob. Why dont someone with mlbtv watch his at-bat from the game and see if we can get a better look. It don't really help when we have a photo that shows no detail and is taken far away.

Re: Alex Rodriguez HR 562 bat Ebay

I have to say, it would be pretty disturbing to find out you bid and won this bat thinking it was THE #562 Home Run bat, only to discover it wasn't and was only a game used bat from the game, say the one used AFTER he hit the home run and had THAT bat set aside.

The inscription is a bit off his others that he puts on the Home Run bats....so this could be a VERY misleading auction.

If A-Rod is doing this with his associates just to sell more "stuff", then he is a true money whore. He has NO NEED whatsoever to mislead any potential fan of his just to maximize his take on his game used stuff. After all, he is the highest paid baseball player in the history of the game.

I would like to see a close up of that knob......this is potentially a very interesting find by Rboitano.

Re: Alex Rodriguez HR 562 bat Ebay

Could the seller have done something, because i remember the post about this seller and how it was wierd he had so many game issued gloves and all.

I am looking at frames from 32-34 seconds into the vid. check out the batboy with the bat. you can see the knob handle.

Re: Alex Rodriguez HR 562 bat Ebay

I can clearly see in the photo from Uspresswire that the knob has the two white circular stampings on the knob that most 2009 LVS bats have. And the bat in the auction does not have it.

Re: Alex Rodriguez HR 562 bat Ebay

Does any one know if the writing is a-rods or not. Because i found a better photo of a-rod hitting the homerun and the bat that he used showed little use. So coudlt he bat ahve been switched with a old a-rod bat. Whats with the black marks on the mlb hologram?

Re: Alex Rodriguez HR 562 bat Ebay
