So Marshall Fogel is saying that the DiMaggio bat was given an A-10 on one eyewitness account of a 93 year old man who forgot he had the bat for 60 years, never mentioned that he had this bat ever, was known to use the exact same model bat as DiMaggio, and was even known to borrow bats from DiMaggio? Not to mention the ballmarks on the bat correspond to Henrich and not DiMaggio.

Mastro claims that Henrich and DiMaggio were close friends, but Henrich is quoted as saying he never went out with DiMaggio once in the entire time they were teammates.

IMO Fogel is coming to Bushing's aid because he has as much to lose as Bushing does. All of these authenticators and auction houses have much to lose if it becomes common knowledge that even an A-10 from the world's foremost authority really means "maybe".
