Re: Show off your *ERROR* bats

Not errors by any means, so slightly off-topic, but has anyone come across a bat inscribed for an Hispanic player with the last name different than the name by which he is known in the States?

I don't know exactly how it works - perhaps Museoven could provide some insight - but I know that some players, when they're back home, add, I believe, their mother's maiden name after their family name, and that's the name they use there.

The only example of this that I've ever seen on a bat is one that Edwin Diaz used, which is inscribed "Edwin Diaz Rosario".

The Worth Bat Company misspelled Bill Ripkens' name in 1987 (this was used during Spring Training that year)

"Valdimir" Guerrero, Ralph "Houck", Sandy "Aldmar", and Ryne "Sandbreg."

Bushing told me a couple years ago that this was the earliest Adirondack bat he'd ever seen, and I've always wanted to take the Ryne bat to a show to see if he'd sign it "Sandbreg."

I own a 90' bat with the spelling "McWIRE". It is the bat on top. It is also cracked and heavily pounded.

Re: Show off your *ERROR* bats

I guess this would be mostly a question for Brian.

Is there any way to tell from the bat shipping records whether the name was misspelled on a particular shipment?

For instance, I'm looking at this Wilkin Castillo bat



where they've misspelled his first name. Will the shipping record likely say "Wilken" or "Wilkin"?

I'm mainly asking because I'm pretty sure this bat was made in '07 or '08 (it's marked with the uniform number he used in ST in both those years) and I was curious as to whether I could figure out which year it was made.
