That's really cool, having a pic of the bat getting cracked.
About half of mine are cracked - Not that I have many, I think only 4. All but one were really great "deals" and the one that wasn't is in the nicest condition of any of them. Of course, one has enough weathering that it may as well be cracked, and one was cracked about 90 years after any game use. The crack led to me getting it.
My brother called me one day asking if I had a bat I'd trade to someone he knew. I figured I might but why? They were playing softball and cracked the bat they were using. And he said it looked really old. So I swapped a usable wood bat for it, and he gave me a few other old bats. Nothing interesting except the cracked one. Bon-Topper bat company Hartford, Ct. Fred Parent signature model. A few years later I asked a bat guy about it at a show and he said it was probably a game bat. Pretty good swap.
