Ya. I see what you mean. I think the MLB authentication program wouldnt make such a big mistake to authenticate it for the worng game though

You wouldn't think that the Rangers Team Store or MLB would let the bat go unnoticed and just displayed with the regular bats either...mistakes just happen... it's life. Your bat very well could have been used in the game, but we just don't know for sure yet. It wasn't used in 1 of the 3 at bats for sure though.

I would think that too, but my game used Yankees ball that is authenticated as being autographed by Derek Jeter with NO signature on the ball, and my game used Mike Gonzalez jersey that is authenticated as being worn by Terry Pendleton beg to differ. Sometimes they make those mistakes. I just bought a Hamilton gamer (S380 like yours) that was broken on July 22, 2009. Maybe in some way a bat from the same batch might shed a little bit of light on this. Who knows but if the grain on mine is totally different then you might be closer to a definitive match on the grain of the bat, but if it is close to yours then it might just add to the confusion. No matter what turns up you have yourself a nice game used Josh Hamilton bat. Congrats.

FYI, BMH replied about the bat order

Re: Josh Hamilton 2009 All Star Game Used Bat Help

I have come the conclusion I believe that my bat was used during the 2009 all star game because everything matches up. What are the odds that they messed up and I talked to BMH and the bat model is the one he ordered for the all star game. It has all star bats charecterisics. Now wouldn't that be VERY rare for them to mess up AND all the stuff seems to point the bat towards the all star game

So wait you got a photomatch?

Re: Josh Hamilton 2009 All Star Game Used Bat Help

I have not because it doesn't seem like anyone can find a good photo of him using a bat during the 6th inning but it does kind of look like it. My point is EVERYTHING seems to point towards it was used during the all star game and now people think it wasn't and the mlb messed up. I'm just trying to say that the odds of them messing up AND it all seems like it was used during the ASG seems pretty slim

Re: Josh Hamilton 2009 All Star Game Used Bat Help

Even if he cracked the bat during BP it would be labeled as ASG game used in the holo database. Anyone seen any photos from bp?

Re: Josh Hamilton 2009 All Star Game Used Bat Help

If you can't find a photomatch then I am not sure what you mean by "it all seems like it was used during the all star game. Other than the hologram the only other thing you have to go off of is BMH saying it was part of a bat order. That order was 4 bats. That is not enough to definitively narrow it down. So the only thing you are basing it off of is the fact that the hologram says it and MLB should be better than to mess it up. I would hope that would be the case, but we all know that it is not. MLB gets it wrong from time to time. While I cannot clearly say one way or another if your bat is a photomatch I can say that it is a nice game used Hamilton. If the bat is for your collection there is no reason to stress what it is or isn't. You can call it a World Series bat if you want. If it isn't for you collection then sell it already so we can move on.

Why not pick up a DVD of the game I am sure in this day and age there has to be one available for sale somewhere and just watch Hamiltons every at bat to see if he uses it?

Re: Josh Hamilton 2009 All Star Game Used Bat Help

Maybe somebody other than Hamilton used it

If by it kinda looks like a bat than sure it looks like a bat, but I am not sure what you are basing your looks like opinion on. I have several items which where mislabeled in the database one of which calls a Jeter batting practice (which is solid blue) a home jersey (pinstripes), does this now mean the Yankees broke tradition and wore this Batting practice jersey cause the hologram says its a striped jersey, no.

I understand your excited but there is no reasons to jump to conclusions just because its in your possession. My point is NOTHING points to this bat being used besides a hologram. Even the photographs say its not the same bat for the most part, with the exception of one inning and thats only because a clear screen shot is unable to be taken. Also did he break his bat earlier in the game? Why would he all of a sudden switch out in the 6th?

You can purchase the game on iTunes for $1.99. I think that would be a good, cheap investment.
