I have this bat in my collection since I purchased it from Steiner following the 2000 World Series. I am trying to photo match it and was wondering if anyone had any images or video from the 2000 World Series... I found a few style matches of Tino swinging this bat during the 2000 season, but have not found a match for it yet. Thanks.

I believe someone recently had or sold Tino Martinez bat that he used in the 2000 World Series on ebay.

I sent you an email.

There are a few pictures on Getty from the 2000 WS, but nothing close up with detail. I would take a look on eBay for a video from the 2000 WS.

I have a 2000 Tino WS bat, but it is a Rawlings.

I also have a 1999 LVS WS bat that denotes it on the barrel.

Sometimes ball marks will be imprinted on the barrel of the bat. The 2000 WS baseballs had gold stamping. I have a 2000 Mike Bordick game used WS bat which has gold ball marks on the barrel. If there are any of these ball marks on the barrel then you will certain prove the bat was used during the 2000 WS.

Check out John Taube's blog regarding 2000 WS bats and tell tale ball marks.
