    Super photomatch! Congrats! Great bat!

    This is my favorite game used bat. A Bicentennial Willie Stargell that I picked up in a trade. Mike Specht was kind enough to let me know that Stargell ordered 30 of these bats during the '76 season in two different orders.

    Stargell is also the greatest baseball player from my hometown and my old high school field is named after him.

He didn't have any AB's in 2005 reg season or post season. Or may have been used by another player but that would be ineteresting that he would inscribe game used if another player used it.

    Ok, you guys are going to laugh at this, but here is my latest favorite bat: A Bob Didier H&B Gamer from 73-75. No, you won't find this in the bat records section of the site. Didier was a journeyman catcher who played for the Braves and one year, 5 G - 14 AB - 1 H, for the 74 Red Sox. His significance to me is that he was one of 18 players who's Bat I needed to complete my run of Red Sox position player bats from 1960 to the present.

    This was advertized as a "Kiya Didier" bat and I was looking (make that looking for 15 years) for a Robert Didier bat. I checked Baseball Almanac for a nickname . . . none. Middle name? Daniel. I looked for significance of the word Kiya . . . . none. Other Didier major leaguers from that time? . . . none. I looked for minor leaguers with the name Didier, could find none. Totally stumped. Then I looked at the bat more closely and thought the "K" might be an "H" to read "Hiya." Punched that into google and after another hour of digging learned that in grade school Bob Didier's friends knew him by his nickname "Hiya."

    I'd like to think that when he signed on with H&B he was paying tribute to his friends with his signature and reminding himself of what it was like to reach a childhood dream. OK that last part is the romantic in me.

    I match my $40 Didier against your $15,000 Mantle (just kidding!)

    I sure dont see anything that is 100% spot on. To call it a photomatch it has to be definitive, and that is not.
    There was possibly more use after that photo, but there are too make marks in the same spot to be coincidence. I say 100% photomatch.

    Definetly a match Bert, no doubt about it!

    To the guys who can't see it......what are the odds that Tino Martinez would have two Albert Pujols C243 model bats with similar rack marks? I'm sure when Bert has the bat in his hands and holds the bat up in the exact angle of the game photos it looks ten times better than the photo match pics.

    Congrat's Bert on your favorite GU bat.

    Bert,

    I believe its a photomatch now, I mean I was 99% sure before you clarified the cupping. Just hard to tell based on the angle of the photo. Thanks for confirming it.

    Awesome bat.

    The marks dont line up perfectly, they look different. And the tar on the handle above his batting gloves, it doesnt match up.
