Re: Please post pics of your Tin Martinez bats....

It's great to see "another" GUU witch hunt, I think before anyone calls John Taube a "so-called professional" it would be a good idea to contact John whom by the way is one of the best in the buisness and ask him about the bat before you speculate or insinuate. The beat goes on.....unfortunately.

Hi George,

I think Joe is just trying to look out for a fellow member.

I did not say anything bad about JT. I have heard lots of good about him. We are all human and subject to make an error here or there.

I was contacted by another member (other than Joe) who saw my Tino and questioned the knob writing.

I will contact him now. I have been pretty busy with other things or I would have done so already.

Thank you!

No problem Dave...again,it's pretty funny how a blatant ink transfer like that gets by the so-called professionals.Good luck,and give us an update when you can.

Hey Joe! Thanks for your help!

I will email JT Sports and see what he says about the bat and the writing on the knob.

Another GUU member told me he never saw a Tino gamer with writing on the knob like mine.

Thanks a lot!

Dave-
Here's a pic of a current game ball from the independent Atlantic League just as a comparison:


Could very possibly be a minor league ball ink transfer.

Dave-
Found 2 Central Leagues in the minors-one affiliated that played until 1951,and the other an unaffiliated league that played 2002-2005.

Re: Please post pics of your Tin Martinez bats....

Dave-
just found this on Wikipedia:

Current Class AAA leagues are the International League and the Pacific Coast League, the champions of which meet annually in a single-game Triple-A championship game in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, called the Bricktown Showdown. Current Class AA leagues are the Eastern League, the Southern League and the Texas League. Current Class A-Advanced Leagues are the California League, the Carolina League and the Florida State League. Current Class A leagues (that are not in the Class A-Advanced subclassification) are the Midwest League and the South Atlantic League. Current Short-Season A classification leagues are the New York-Penn League and the Northwest League. Current Rookie-Advanced leagues are the Appalachian League and the Pioneer League. Current Rookie leagues (that are not in the Rookie-Advanced subclassification) are the Arizona League, the Gulf Coast League, the Dominican Summer League and the Venezuelan Summer League.

To be honest,I don't know what that stamp could be.Don't know how JT could've missed that either-I'd hope you'd be able to get a refund if that's proven to be a Tino bat that saw some minor-league action.

Good Luck buddy,
Joe

Out of curiosity,what exactly does that blue ink transfer on the barrel by the "I13" read..it doesn't look like it says "Official Major League Baseball" as it should read when Tino was a Ray.

Take Care,
Joe

Hi Joe,

Good Question. I can make out Official Ball and something League and then so and so Commissioner.

I just put the bat up to a mirror with tons of light and before League there is an AL , and the two letter before AL appear to be TR as in TRAL .

Could that be CENTRAL LEAGUE?

Is there such a league?

If this is not a TINO used bat, does JT Sports offer refunds?
