Perhaps uproar was a poor choice of words .... but I read the posts as the Letter of Opinion is misleading. I have never seen an LOA with "Store Model Bat" as the header, so that is where I was confused.
Matt, I agree that the only "proof" that the bat was used by Crawford is from word of mouth - in this case, from the mouth of one of the earliest known bat collectors. But that does not cut it, and that is what Taube stated in his letter of opinion - he could not confirm that it was used by Crawford. Stating "autograph" for model number on the letter implies that this is a retail bat, to me at least, and although there are stories of clubs/players purchasing these bats for game use, the use of these bats in a major league game cannot be determined, and certainly not for a specific player.
