Zimmerman bat on ebay

[Vintagedeputy]

I have looked at Zimmerman bats on tv all year and I have never seen his number "11" look like that on a bat. He usually has a distinctive way of writing it.

Any thoughts?

The Schneider bat that he has looks suspect as well. The sig looks good and the "23" by the sig looks right but Schneider uses a different style "23" on the knob. The 2 is totally wrong and the 3 isnt even close.

Thoughts?

Andrew has had a few Zimmerman bats with the 11 like the 11 on the bat in the auction. In fact I was questioning some of his bats because the 11 was different, and he said that some are written one way and some another. Of course, the majority of them had the standard 11 that you show on your rookie gamer.

This bat is listed as a game issued bat, which from what I can see it is. So what is the problem?

The title says game used bat.

In all of the Zim bats I've seen, I have never seen one with the 11 like that.

I could be wrong.....

Ask Andrew, he will tell you the number has been seen both ways.

The description of the auction states game issued. Seller needs to correct the title...still a nice bat.
