Question re: Bat

[ejharrington]

Is a bat that was used in batting practice generally considered "game used"? Do they typically sell at a discount from a bat used during a game and, if so, approximately how much? Thanks in advance for feedback.

no, game used means it has to be used in the game itself.

Unless it's somehow different from the players normal bat, I'm not sure how you'd tell a game used bat apart from one just used in BP.

I suppose if the player started BP with a brand new bat and gave it away right after the person getting it would know. If it's something like that good for them not stretching it into game used.

Sammy Sosa, anyone?

I'll never understand the game used arena. Players share equipment, even though it's personalized. If a guy picks up one of Mike Trout's spare bats and uses it, is that a Mike Trout game used bat?

I was reading an auction description the other day about a minor league jersey worn by a prospect. The jersey was issued to the prospect, had their name on the back, but the cert specified that the jersey was too small and worn by someone else. What?
