Re: Tony, Hope You Enjoy This Game Used 2009 Bat - All the Best, Alex Rodriguez

So far, I was able to photomatch this bat from 13 games between 17 Aug 09 to 20 Sep 09. Most significantly, I found Arod used this bat to hit career home run #575 on 23 Aug 09 off Josh Beckeet of the Boston Red Sox.

As you can see from the 17 Aug 09 picuture, this bat is easy to photomatch by this mark.

Great story and awesome to see a side of Alex people don't think is there, this is above and beyond what anyone would expect any athlete to do. What a sweet bat and gesture by arod. This is grand slam indeed, an abomb from arod!

Wow Tony! Great story man, glad Arod made it better. Totally jealous. I need one of those in my collection now. There's nothing like a hammered Arod bat. Especially from his WS winning year.

Just an awesome bat Tony! Probably the best Arod bat I have seen. I remember following your post a few years ago and empathizing with your frustrations; glad it worked out and then some. Could not have happened to a better guy. Best- Joe

Re: Tony, Hope You Enjoy This Game Used 2009 Bat - All the Best, Alex Rodriguez

Tony just to add I know your trying to photomatch i to the World Series but you do realize when this bat was dated there was still 38 regular season games left and all together including playoffs.

So he may have used this one during a regular game or playoffs. I would check them all if I were you and then I would say
"Suave I photomatched the bat, what is your address because I want to ship it to you?" lmaooo

SUAVE, LMAO!! Yeah, Joel told me the same thing also. Of course, matching it to a World Series game would be icing on the cake. I was focussing on the World Series because of the few photos I game across, where I could see pine tar around the centerband. I checked Getty Images and Corbis, and found a few pics before the playoffs, but they weren't large enough to see. And for some reason, MLB.TV doesn't have archived games from 2009, which makes it a little rougher and limits my resources.

Awesome bat Tony!!
I haven't been following the board much lately so I'm sure I missed it but what Rawlings bat are you talking about and what was the deal with it that he wanted it?
Congrats again.

A while back, I bought what I believed to be was a 1996 Rawlings HR #15 game used bat. Documentation seemed solid, which came from Sports Collectors Digest (SCD), signed by Tory Kinnunen, Letter from Arod Authenticated, signed by Arod, PSA, etc. Of course, I had to dig deeper and wanted to photomatch, so I contacted the Mariners and Red Sox and obtained video o the actual game. Long story short, he used a Louisville Slugger and not a Rawlings bat. Of course I was pissed when I found out. Anyway, a couple years later, it's finally been resolved and I am more than satisified.
