posada bat

Re: posada bat

No. Spoke with a James Furst, and then the seller's Steiner Rep. They actually asked what I wanted, so I told them....Ruth bat, good use.
I wish!

We'll see what happens. It seems that they can find a comparable bat in terms of the year range, usage, etc. So, gold stars to Steiner!

Re: posada bat

Glad it worked out. Did you speak with Bob M.?

Re: posada bat

well.... spoke to Steiner and the seller. Took about half an hour to decide that a replacement from Steiner would be best.

Seems pretty fair to me.

Once again, this would not have been possible if not for the suggestions and information offered by forum members.
Thanks again.

Re: posada bat

Give Steiner a call and speak with Bob Malandro. I'm pretty sure he'll let you exchange it for a genuine Posada gamer.

Re: posada bat

OK guys, so what the heck do I have, and how should I proceed?
Thanks for the posts,

Ash,

Bottom line, you have a Posada bat probably used by someone else!! But not to worry, you have the "STEINER CERTIFICATE" (Choir of Angels softly singing in background...) 99% of the population will see the bat as what is on the Cert. thinking it's Posada, but that's OK, Steiner thinks it's Posada too !!!!!!

Re: posada bat

Maybe Steiner should have a shared or bat swapping section !!!!

Swapping has always been a Yankee tradition. And not just bats. Just ask Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich.

Re: posada bat

On the other hand, I recently purchased a Steiner game used Sojo from someone on this site for $75. When I got it I was pleasantly surprised to get a black Louisville with a Posada tape job.

Re: posada bat

From the pictures bat looks to be from 1999, Wilson was not on Roster so it looks like maybe Sojo. I have also included 2 pictures, 1 shows Sojo using tape on his bat and the other, from what I can see, maybe someone with a more advanced photo program can zoom in, looks to be Sojo using a Louisville (TPX Logo?) and you can see he added the ring on the handle. The bat in question is also a Louisville with an added ring.

Re: posada bat

quick question for you. do you know the reason of this?

Some players with Rawlings contracts who use other bats put the ring on the bat because from a distance and on T.V. it looks like a Rawlings bat which they are suppose to be using due to contract with Rawlings.

Re: posada bat

Getting boring, but I'll say it for the 1000th time, STEINER HAS NO CLUE!!! The bat was probaly used by someone with a contract with another bat company. You can see on the picture that a ring was added in the middle handle. This is often done by players with Rawlings contract who want to use something else. If this bat did not have the Steiner letter, I doubt anyone would have touched it !!
