I have some access to a local low level minor league club and was there the day their bats came in for 2006. Essentially, they were given bargain deals on the runovers and printing errors of MLB orders to Louisville Slugger. The team was more concerned with weight, length, etc. but it was surprising to find bats that had been created for several big league clubs/players. I personally held a couple of Pudge Rodriguez models and there were many more. No doubt there are plenty of these bats that wind up in the marketplace with no readily apparent signs of which ballfield they came from.

BTW, here's another Q&A with the author: http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/latest/author-talks-about-the-card.html
