Pink Bats Return

Re: Pink Bats 2010

We make each bat exactly like their regular game bats except the color.

I always wondered the same thing and I figured they did make them like the regular game bats. At the same time thought it also sounds like a lot of players are weird about their bats and how they feel even though they are the same bat... They might get an order of bats and only like a few of them. So the chances of the pink bats having that right "feel" to the player might not be the best of odds so the player uses it for 1 at bat so it can be auctioned off as game used for a good cause and they go back to what feels right to them.

Official Baseball Bat Regulations
Source: MLB.com
(d) No colored bat may be used in a professional game unless approved by the Rules Committee.

Major League Baseball authorizes the use of the specially dyed bats -- temporarily suspending the regulation that restricts players to using black, brown, red or white bats.

An umpire will remove a pink bat if a player tried to use one other then on Mother's day. A few years back, Johnny Estrada tried to use a pink bat the following day that was used on Mother's day since he had 2 hits and 3 rbis with it. The umpire made him remove it.

IMO, players that stop using the pink bat after the first or second at bat, probably blaming the bat for a bad day. Its purely psychological. Revert back to what worked for them. Or someone is collecting them for charity in the dugout and players are being helpful.

Not sure what the reason for the color bat rule on the the bat regulations. Whether its related to pitching distraction or pitcher protection (able to have pitcher recognize the ball off the bat). Anyone know?

Re: Pink Bats Return

Each year it seems like players get more and more creative with bat colors. This year I've seen more red bats and Tyler Colvin has the criticised "smoke" finish bat.

Re: Pink Bats Return

Shouldn't be many signs of game use on the Wright bat the way he's been missing pitches.

Re: Pink Bats Return

What do you all think prices are gonna do on these this year?

Based on the pink bats I tracked in 2009, prices were down quite a bit from 2008. A lot of the bats I watched went unsold multiple times through many price drops from $300 down to $100 and in some cases even down to $50 starting bids.

Re: Pink Bats Return

There's a Conor Jackson one from 2009 up now that's starting at, I think $100.

They are going to go up for at least certain stars. There are a few bats that I need that I cannot otherwise find so I am going to do what it takes to obtain them.

Re: Pink Bats Return

its a great cause as always but i think the bats are overpriced, you can get hammered gamers of most of the stars for half the price. I have 2 pinks in my collection but im out this year unless the prices drop

Re: Pink Bats Return

Just seen the Royals put theirs up. Got a little excited when I seen the Ankiel, then remembered he was injured. Bat was used by Mike Aviles. Of course they don't mention that in the auction. You have to enter the holo number to get the info.
