Gameused, that is one fantastic collection of Ortiz bats. I have only 1 Ortiz bat, but it is from the 2004 season. As a RedSox fan for 40 years, I had to have a bat from the 2004 season when "the curse" was finally busted. During the 1990's I collected Mo Vaughn bats because I thought that Mo would help get the RedSox to a series victory.

Looks like a legit Ortiz gamer, typical pine tar application and cleat marks to the left barrel area.

The bat would have sold for a lot more if it was not missing that sliver on the handle. I posted some pics of some Ortiz gamers in my collection to compare.

HOLY CRAP!

I need a little bow down smiley to insert here! That is one incredible Papi collection. I am three shades of green with envy.

Thank you for the opinion, that makes me feel better about the purchase. You say it would have sold for more without the sliver being missing? So there is a price/value difference with whole, cracked and slivered bats? A newbie question, I know and I apologize for that. Was the bat worth what I paid?

Hi All,

I was surfing Ebay while waiting for supper to be ready and came across this bat. Comparing it to Ortiz game used bats from this year, it is a type/style match. It seemed like a decent deal, but I would much appreciate it if you all would tell me if you believe it is a legit gamer.

Thanks!
