Dan BrettaA7 is the grade on the bat....that doesn't mean that it was used by the player in question, but that the bat specifications and usage are comparable and it could have conceivably been used by the player.
I certainly wouldn't buy it because the labelling period is beyond his playing days, but Chase did play a lot of outlaw baseball before getting hurt in a car accident and there were players that did order bats from H&B beyond their MLB days.
