maccamania,

The Pedroia bat does not appear to be photomatch. The rosin does not disappear from the bat over time. It's not uncommon to find multiple bats with similar ballmarks. Player's are extremely consistant with their contact patterns. IMHO, the bat you have appears to be a fine game used bat, just not the same one in the photo.

Rosin does disappear over time. Pine tar doesn't dry instantly and can stay moist for long periods of time. I will use the analogy of my favorite breakfast meal to explain this. When you make cinnamon toast as soon as you take the toast out of the toaster you put the butter on so the toast will melt the butter making a soft tasty landing spot for the cinnamon. Once you put the cinnamon on it no longer stays in powder form on top of the butter. It then takes on the characteristic of the oh so delicious butter and that is how cinnamon toast is made. Putting a powder substance on a moist substance it doesn't take long for the powder to mix.

Now if you were to put rosin on a bat that doesn't have a recent coat of fresh pine tar then that is a different story and the rosin might not mix leaving it available to be seen on the bat for a long time.

Can anyone else tell it is time for breakfast?

maccamania,

Thanks for the follow up photo. I'm still not convinced it's the same bat. How does the writhing on the knob compare?

Thanks Joe!


maccamania- You had a match on your first post, as well as the second and third. I'm not sure why he thinks you don't have a match

Kyle,

I prefer a pessimistic approach when it comes to photomatching. Too often a piece is declared a match based on a few similar marks.


Maccamania,

Thanks again for the additional photos, you've changed my opinion on the photomatch. I have to agree it's a match. Nice work! Enjoy the bat.
