BMH - Scott Schoeneweis bats

[metsbats]

BMH,

Would you be able to share how many bats/models numbers were sent to Scott Schoeneweis during his 2008 season with the Mets?

Thanks

[BMH]

If that is the correct spelling of his name, he didn't order any bats from us.

[metsbats]

Would this be a team ordered bat then if there are no individual record of a player order?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure the correct spelling is SCHOENWEIS.

[godwulf]

I stand corrected - it is Schoeneweis.

[metsbats]

Godwulf,

Scott's name has to be one of the most misspelled names in baseball.

It probably ranks up there with "Mientkiewicz":p

Why does it look like some of the letters are branded different.

[metsbats]

Good Question!

Perhaps BMH can shed some light though I've seen inconsistant stampings between letters on some other Block Letter HBs I own. Perhaps when the name was branded in the plates were not set at the same height or the same fonts?

[BMH]

Well, it could be a bat from 2007, he did order from us then.

As for branding...well we have a 90yr. old burn branding machine using 40-50yr old letter's being held in by a 40-50yr old plate. On top of that, it is burned into a tapering surface...I see no room for error on that one;)

It's part of what makes it a Louisville Slugger...

[metsbats]

I like the old time look of the branding from that old time equipment.

The modern stamping on some of the 2004 bats and those horrible M9 center label (what are they stickers?) just doesn't scream HB to me:D

Schoeneweis had a total of 1 at bat in all of 2008 and 0 at bats in 2007 his only years with the Mets. No surprise he didn't need to order any bats in 2008.

So Brian can you please share the details of the 2007 order?

Thanks
