Re: Barry Bonds non-SAM Bats?

I'm not sure exactly of the bats he's used since 2000, but accordingly to his mistresses upcoming testimony, he ordered a set of balls from Sloan's Prosthetics..............

Re: Barry Bonds non-SAM Bats?

Hi all,
Back in June of 2007 the Giants had Bonds Auth. auto game model bats in their auction. I contacted XBats and they told me he ordered 2 dozen for spring and early regular season use. There was a picture of bonds in the spring training dugout walking onto the field with a SAM and XBat in his hand.....
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Ty

I taped four or five episodes off espn when they first came on. I have one of those DVRs that lets you burn to DVD, so I can 'archive' stuff like that.

I watched the video in slo-mo. It's a black ash LVS B380 with block letters BARRY BONDS.

Where can you watch episodes of the show now?

This is an unused game issued bat however he used the same type of Zinger as well as SSK in Spring Training in 2007.

I remember that episode of Bonds on Bonds, it was a black ash Louisville Slugger.

Re: Barry Bonds non-SAM Bats?

I'd heard about the SSK's but forgot about them. It must've been the M9's that he was using in the video that I saw. I'll pull the DVD back out and see if I can tell what model # it is...

Re: Barry Bonds non-SAM Bats?

I had seen him use SSK, LVS M9's in 2006 and 2007. They are very rare, not many Bonds bats have been made available including Sam Bats from 2002-2007.

Does anyone know if Bonds ordered bats from any company besides SAM Bats, since 2000? I remember watching a special on Bonds from 2006; he was taking BP with a Louisville Slugger and he took the paint off it after about 5 swings. But I'm not sure if it was actually ordered by Bonds (with his name on it) or different Giant.

I know he used all kinds of bats earlier in his carerr, so I'm just interested in since 2000.
