Players using others players bats or other equipment

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

I bought a Brady Anderson game-used bat several years ago. A year or so ago, I went to a signing to have him autograph it. He held it up, looked at the bat marks, and said "Someone must have borrowed this...the ball marks look like someone who's right-handed was using it." I'm still not sure if he was jerking me around. But if someone else DID use it, I'll just assume it was Ripken.

on getty theres a picture of prince fielder using bill halls bat. It has hall's tape job and handle and everything. In one shot you can see the barrel and clearly see its not prince's signature model.

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

Prince has been using Joe Dillion's bats lately too. He used to use Carlos Lee's bats also.

Prince has used everybody's bat at one time or another. I don't think he even looks before he leaves the dugout...just grabs which ever bat is closest.

Great Thread...

I like the "Miggy" & Manny Bat pics. My fav Vlad. Guerrero had an (Angels) billboard on the 110 Frwy (los angeles) last year, he was using Orlando Cabreras Bat, # 18 on the knob. Huge full size pic, knob facing the freeway...I wanted a pic so bad, but wasn`t about to stop.

I wasn`t gonna snap a pic at full speed (10 mph) c`mon, that`s funny...

It's Jeff Conine bat. Votto wasn't called up to the Reds till September.

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

Yeah, in fact Dunn liked Conine's model so much he is now using it. It has a large flare knob; Dunn says he no longer has to tape up his bats.

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

Here are some examples of sharing among the game's elite: Rickey Henderson and Don Mattingly used to use each other's bats. Also, AROD used a bunch of Griffey's bats when he was coming up with the Mariners. Steve Carlton was known to lend and borrow bats with other Phillies. There have been two Carlton/Schmidt gamers on the market in the last year or two. Also, here is a photo of Carlton using a Garry Maddox bat in BP:
