I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"

I don't know if they match. I can't see it well enough. I just don't how by looking at the different scales you can say definitively that it is or isn't the bat.

I agree. John indicated with bat in hand and blow up of photos he would be able to make a better judgement call.

Justin,

John Taube would need the bat sent to him and he will get photos enlarged to do an direct comparison in order for him to make a determination on this bat. All costs of shipping and photos would be your responsibility.

Do these grains match up?

I think it's apparent in this comparison that the pine tar does not match up.

I sent these photos to John Taube for his review to get his opinion too.

This pine tar application differs between the Bo ASG game bat and the one which was in the KC royals museum (Justin's bat)

I'm no expert but I am not sure you can say it's not with the scale of the 2 different pictures. Too bad there isn't some grain detail that could be seen on the barrel.

Let's compare the barrel to Bo's 4th inning ASG AB. Unfortunate President Reagan was in the booth with Vince Scully and took air time from Bo before his 1st inning AB. As Pwkw13 points out it'll be hard to tell if this is the same bat he used for both ABs


What do you guys think?

I saw another photo of him in the dugout holding 2 bats. One was a Cooper and the other unknown as it didn't show the barrels. I could just see the Cooper colored ring.

Changed the title back to the most recent thread.

I think this comparison shows the Justin bat and the HR bat in the photos pine tar differs. It's also the same bat in the 4th inning photos.

What do you guys think?

Who changed the title of the thread today?

We merged all the Bo Jackson 89 ASG bat threads into this single thread under the one titled ( and appropriately) "The saga of Bo Jackson's 1989 All-Star Home Run bat'

Here's an interesting photo of Bo from the 89 ASG which supports the theory that he may have brought multiple bats with him

He's taping up a Cooper bat here.

A few takeaways from me on this bat.

Maybe Zanebats could be contacted to see where he got the bat from and trail it backwards. If the HOF sold the one that was in the article, maybe it could be traced back to the HOF.

Also, I also believe that the bat owned by axis could have been used in the HR derby so there's the blue marks. Surely there is a picture of the bat somewhere being displayed in the HOF showing characteristics.

I think I definitely photo matched this bat finally.
