It's great that the guy recognized something different and interesting about that bat. Otherwise, it might have been lost.

I'm sure we can make quite a few relic cards out of that one!

In all seriousness though... great find!

I love hearing stories like this. It gives hope to everyone that someday they may find something as well.
