Interesting Item- ASI Flag X Sosa Bat Used By Ramirez

[Eric]

Here is an interesting item, which I meant to point out last week. It closed without bids and has since been re-listed. Here's the description

MANNY RAMIREZ/SAMMY SOSA SIGNED GAME USED BAT

You are bidding on a Manny Ramirez/Sammy Sosa signed, game used bat. This is an extremlly rare piece that is hard to come by due to the very small amount to leave the Red Sox club house. This bat is a black X-bat that has the Dominican flag just above the handle. This bat shows good game use including ball and lace marks on the barrel and a thin layer of pine tar on the handle. Manny signed the bat on the barrel in silver paint pen. The signature is mint with no smearing of any kind. This bat was initially Sammy Sosa's bat that he used. Sammy gave the bat to Manny for him to test out the model, and Manny then used and signed the bat.

Eric just an update someone pointed that out about a week ago when ASI first listed it.

I personally think its a cool item but I am not a Manny fan so I can't see spending that much money

I can't find the original thread, can you point me to it?

Eric, thats funny I cant find it either i dont thinnk it was in a thread discussing the bat itself Topic. It was mentioned in a different topic. But I could have sworn I caught wind of it through here bcuz thats how I first knew of it last week when it was first listed.

A few weeks ago, JT Bats had a Alex Rodriguez game used Manny Ramirez bat. I thought it was pretty cool but couldnt spend 700 or 800 on something that had Manny's name and Boston Red Sox on it!

You know what would be really cool to have that bat signed by both of them then I would definitely consider this bat.

Anyone have pics of Manny using an X-Bat with the flag on it?
