MLB Authenticated "HIT" bat ...

Re: MLB Authenticated "HIT" bat ...

I have Elliot Johnson's authenticated 2012 pink mother's day bat. It is authenticated as used in the second inning.

I am pissed because he saw only 1 pitch in that inning and got an RBI single with it. Also later in the gmae to top it off, Johnson hit an 8th inning homerun with the same bat from the other side of the plate. So the same bat when was used in the same game when he was batting left and got a single and when he was batting right and hit the go ahead homerun which ended up being the winning run. I can even seen the hologram on the bat in the 8th inning.

No further data was entered in the database other than it was used in the 2nd inning angainst jake arrieta. A little more detail could have doubled the value of th exact same bat.

I do not like repaired bats! Leave them be. Some say they want to be able to swing the bat. If that is the case, keep the broken and just buy another bat that you can swing without repairing. You will not get as much for a repaired bat, if you try to sell versus leaving it alone.

Re: MLB Authenticated "HIT" bat ...

Singles are nice. Home Runs are better. This is the only thing that has left my collection that I've ever regretted parting with later. It's in another nice collection now. Ahem, you know you want to sell it back to me! :-)

Dude -- I am sorry to open old wound.


But then again, I guess the funds were helpful at the time of the transaction.


Now, I got a new "itch" for game used bat - actual hit - MLB authenticated, of course. So, if anyone is selling, let me know what you got and we go from there.


Since ALL of these "hit" bats were broken/cracked/pieces (handle and barrel) - would you fix it? or would you just let it be? (for displaying purposes of course).

Re: MLB Authenticated "HIT" bat ...

Damon's hit must have been YANKEES record related, only. It would have been better, if they could have put the exact hit #.

must have been career hit 2722 for damon

here's my favorite place to keep track of milestone passing, you can sort too in many ways. its a great if you are milestone chasing as many collectors are

Re: MLB Authenticated "HIT" bat ...

they camp out in the corner of the dugouts, no reason to think that with a "significant" mark such as this they wouldn't just hand the bat to the authenticator for him to slap a sticker on it right there. No question as to is validity IMO.

Re: MLB Authenticated "HIT" bat ...

Now this is cool.


Talking about authenticator really likes his/her job. I just hope that it is accurate, though.

[marino13]

... this is first for me. I have seen many other "hit" baseball, but never ever seen a bat authenticated as such.


How cool is this? No Photomatch needed. If anything, if the bat can be back-track for others' significant, that would be even better.
