Re: Opinions on Ortiz bat please

Great Ortiz collection and pictures of them Gameused. The B9 Louisville Slugger from Home Run derby is really cool. That has to be one od his rarest models out there.
That looks like a nice match you found for Tedw9 new pick up. Nice work!

indyred,

Thanks! The B-9 I know Ortiz would use a lot during B.P., I did see a photo or two of him using a B-9 during a game.

Tedw9's Ortiz bat must have been in the same bat rack at one point or another as the one I have from a Red Sox vs Orioles game on 8-11-07, his bat is matched from a game on 8-6-07.

Heres some pics of the match:

That is a great bat, I am disappointed I missed that one...I have been looking for one in the low $300's

Great find!

Gameused,

THANK YOU!!! You made my day with those pictures! I can't thank you enough for doing that for me, those pictures match up perfectly with my bat. I'm amazed you were able to find it so quickly.

Thank you again for taking the time to find a match for me, you have no idea how much this newbie appreciates it. If there is anything I can do to repay you or help you in kind, please let me know.

Steve,

Your welcome! I was surprised that I found a match so quickly, sometimes you get lucky.

The best part in my opinion of collecting game used bats is trying to find a photo match, when you do find a photo placing a bat in a players hands it makes it all worth while.

Steve,

You can go to mlbtv now and look at games from 8-6-07 into September and try to see when your bat was cracked. That would be neat to know when that Ortiz bat was cracked.

Thank you Bill. I got lucky finding it, it had been listed less than an hour before. I'm a small time collector compared to others here, so this was a major score for me.

Bobby, I will be heading to mlb.tv this weekend to see if I can find where it was broken. I am going to see if I can also find every hit that Papi got with this bat before it broke. I want as much history on this as I can get. Thanks again, you rock!
