Barry Bonds not using Sam Bats?

Re: Barry Bonds not using Sam Bats?

Was he using M9 models mostly. I was downtown in Louisville today and just walked around the museum and I could see in the windows they had some Barry Bonds bats. They weren't M9 though. It was just in the practice stamping area. I wonder with him in Cincy this week if they made a few for him. His name was in regular block lettering, did he ever sign a deal with Louisville Slugger, where his name would be in autograph version on the barrell?

i just took the louisville slugger tour today and saw a barry bonds M9 bat that was in the error stack so i believe that louisville has made bats for bonds lately. there was not much going on at the ls factory today cause it's memorial day and i have a friend who is a sorta vip so we got a extra tour and saw the bonds so it was suprising to see his M9 bat just laying aruond the factory.

Re: Barry Bonds not using Sam Bats?

That is cool you got to see a little extra. Whenever I'm downtown and have time to kill I check out around the Museum and take some swings in the cage. I saw most of Reds game tonight and Bonds just used his sam bats in the times I saw him.....Was his name just in block letter's on the bats? I'm not Bonds expert, I just thought he would have signed a deal at some point and had a signature edition of Louisville Slugger made.
Mikedarrcollector......I'm pretty new to this area, are there any dealers or shops in the Louisville area that sell game used bats? Seems like there is nothing collectible wise around here.
