I guess you'll have to settle for that Jeter game issued pink bat that Steiner will have for sale.
Here is mine from 2010.

Jeter is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish that they would do the same for Father's Day with blue bats.

Here are my issued from 2010. The Ike Davis has a couple of seam marks but was sold as issued.

Maybe Brian can chime in, but has LVS been using a darker "pink" on their bats for this season? The bats appear to be somewhat darker than the pink bats from seasons past.

Yes, they are darker this year. They are hot pink instead of the light pink that has been normally used from 06' to 11'.

I don't think they ever finished selling the 2011 Pink Bats. I do not recall seeing any Astros Pink bats his MLB.com.

Thanks,

Not sure how the Astros do it but the Rays players have the option of keeping them (which im told most players are doing) or turning them in to be sold.

Cano - one AB with the Mother's Day version and back to the regular bats.

I missed canos 1st ab, what brand did he use?

I believe Gordon used the same pink bat both of first two AB. Not wearing pink cleats. I think only players with Under Armour contracts can wear those. I think Hosmer and Frenchy are wearing pink cleats. Gordon has pink necklace and pink wrist bands, with plain white batting gloves.

Nice. Thanks for the info. Montero is wearing pink everything! Hopefully Gordon uses the pink bat again for his 3rd time up when he does some YARD WORK!

Wes,

Did Gordon use a pink bat his 2nd time up when he lined out? Also, is he wearing pink cleats? Thanks

Billy using a regular black Mizuno in first inning... I guess I'll be saving some time and money this year.

How soon does the pink equipment usually make its way to MLB.com auctions?

Maybe about 10 days out or so?.....It doesn't all happen at once though too.

Pablo

That is a nice bat Pablo. With use, it goes for big dollars and is out of the range of many. Oh well....gotta pay for rarity.
