Seems highly unlikely to me, but possible I suppose. The story is quite detailed, and it seems that the Mill owners could conceivably be contacted to verify the story (if so desired).

The seller states that the Bat definitely came directly from LaJoie, but cannot guarantee it's game-used (though he thinks it is). As a potential gamer, the length (32 3/4") seems short to me, and the name on back of the barrel seems odd as well.

Perhaps (if the seller really believes it to be authentic) he should re-list it a third time, and include a Mears Certification along with an affadavit from the Mill owner, stating it's provenance.

This Bat has already exceeded $1,650 so it looks like numerous people are at least buying into the story... will be an interesting one to watch!
