Re: AROD Game Used Home Run Bat with No Evidence of Use

Schubert are you for real?

Can I ask why it's a secret?

Did MVP ask you not to tell anyone?

I never said it was a secret......why would you make that up? You can look at my last reposnse. It doens't matter what I say, you'll just call it rubbish. You're second question is just dumb. Here is the number...Mario (727) 860-4951

Re: AROD Game Used Home Run Bat with No Evidence of Use

if i had a question about the authenticity about a item,or just a question about it...and i was given info about the person to ask,well then i would just ask that person...why grill the person who told you who to ask.....im sure its not a secret,they just want you to get the info yourself from that person that told them......and as far as a-rod knowing what bat he hit a home run with,im sure he does know and keeps track of it....all i know is i remember seeing a show that followed barry bonds around that was on espn and they went into a huge room like storage locker and he had all his game used items in there,and he said he had every game used item labeled in there,as to what game he wore it or used it in.......

Sometimes it becomes a complicated situation to be the one trying to repeat the info of another. Some don't feel comfortable doing it possibly because so many people have been burned by it before.

Hypothetical, I repeat what an agent says and then the agent denies what I said. Who are you going to believe?

Hopefully, Mario can come on here and maybe educate us so we hear it direct from him!

Re: AROD Game Used Home Run Bat with No Evidence of Use

Mario is really easy to deal with. Either email him or talk to him yourself on the phone if you have question. I don't think it is necessary for Schubert to explain it when Mario is so accessible and if you really want the information. frankly from the tone of some the questions addressed to Schubert, I would not address them since the questions sound bias.

Re: AROD Game Used Home Run Bat with No Evidence of Use

I also don't know why Schubert is being attacked here, he's just passing along his opinion, along with a solid link to someone who might directly answer some concerns.

And Suave, what name did he call you?

I am not attacking anyone I asked a simple question along with some other members about information he volunteered.
If he did not feel comfortable of going into details about it then personally I look at it then why say anything.

Your basically saying I know info but dont want to share it.

If that is the case then all he had to do was say "hey MVP may have more info on arods recordings of his game used equipment"

But instead he sticks his 2 cents in (which there is nothing wrong with) but then he should expect people are going to want to know and since he was the one who threw it out there yes I am going to ask what he was told.

Earlywynn ok he called my question dumb

Same difference im asking the question, what makes my question dumb? They are all valid questions.

Re: AROD Game Used Home Run Bat with No Evidence of Use

i contacted mario/mvp marketing and asked him how arod keeps track of these bats. his response:

"Alex has one of the Yankees equipment managers who works with him in keeping track and he puts the bat in a white sock and he writes which game it was from and the HR number on the sock. Alex brings us the bats and we have him sign them with the stated inscription."

now this system entirely depends on arod putting the bat in a white sock immediately after hitting the HR; that is, he necessarily can't put the bat back in the rack with all the others after a HR. would be interesting to watch some game tape and see if anyone notices him hitting a HR and then the batting being taken away or if it's just put back in the rack with all the others.

with this sock system, i don't see how it's possible to mix up manufacturers or dates, which alex has done. i can see that maybe HR numbers could be mixed up. how do you mix up the manufacturer though? that is, how do you hit a HR with a LVS and then somehow attribute it to a rawlings? of course, maybe the sock system was only implemented once he went to the yankees. who knows what he was doing on the mariners or the rangers.

Re: AROD Game Used Home Run Bat with No Evidence of Use

This is my last post on this subject.

I called MVP today so I could supply you with a correct answer about how ARDO keeps track of his HR bats.

During the game a clubhouse employee will place a sock over an Arod bat, and date it only if he's done anything of significance. Arod then keeps these bats until a signing date set up with MVP. MVP removes the sock and Alex signs the bat with the notations (date and HR#) that were written on the sock.

It's not 100% perfect, but better then how Arod use to do things IMO. Also, several of these bats have been photomatched which helps backup the story about how the correct bat is signed.

I knew about this process in general terms, but could not recall the specifics which is why I didn't want to get into any detail. If some of you we're so eager to know, why didn't you just call. It's not like MVP has been in business the past few weeks. The've been in business for a while now. I would suggest if you want additional information, you can still give them a call. I know if I had questions I would.

suave1477 - I think some on this forum are seeing through a bit of your rhetoric and accusations. I don't understand the hostility toward me, but remind me never to post again.

lurker for life.

Re: AROD Game Used Home Run Bat with No Evidence of Use

what rhetoric and accusations????????

I asked you simple questions.

I never once accused you of anything except for the fact that you called my question dumb and you did.
So if you want to call that an accusation, yes it is a factual accusation!!!

I find it funny how others said something to you, yet I am the one you single out.

God I love this forum

Re: AROD Game Used Home Run Bat with No Evidence of Use

Some of you guys sitting in the $2500.00 seats should keep an eye on Arod this season to see if the bats actually find their way into socks right after homeruns.

For the life of me I still don't understand why the 25 million dollar man wastes his time doing this. It must cost a lot to keep an ex wife off your back. If he wants to turn around his image, he should be giving these away to charities instead of padding his bank account.

A-Rod doesn't care about his image, which is pretty obvious from his opting out of his contract during the WS. If he did, he would be singing the Yankees' praises. He would also not have abandoned his wife and kids.

Some of these athletes are so narcissistic that nothing is enough for them. Remember, it's only 25 million. That's not enough to buy that opulent house with a huge swimming pool on the water in that prestigious zipcode.
