Josh Hamilton photo matched mlb auth bat!!!!

[worldchamps]

I got a cracked bat authenticated by mlb at the Rangers sale. Well i was able to look up the exact game it was used,
and Josh was 3 for 6 and hit his 28th HR of the year.
Well thanks to the magic of the internet i found photos
online and not only did i find a pic of the bat being cracked,
i also photomatched to the HR. When i got the bat it had
all the blue tape on it from mlb crack bat testing, i decided
to remove and it fix the bat (I know this is not what everyone
would do, but this is how i like my bats.) I have not mastered
the photo editing as much as kyle or bobby tex have, but i think
i did a pretty good job. I am going to get Josh to sign it
Homerun #28 2008.

Looks like a solid match to me. Congrats! :D

Love the photo of the bat actually being broken -- OUTSTANDING!!

[yanks12025]

Even though i dislike Hamilton i have to say nice bat and photomatch. And if it was me i would have left the bat broking because it would have gone great with the bat breaking photo. Either way it's still great, i like holding/looking at a bat knowing it was used to hit a long ball.

worldchamps,

You did a nice job on the match, nothing like getting a bat in and finding that unquestionable photo match and he hit a HR with it, even better!

Congrats on a fine looking Hamilton bat.

Congrats.

I like the broken bat picture and I would also get it autographed. Probably try to get the photo of him hitting the homerun signed as well. The three would look really nice displayed together.

I'd love to see pictures after you get the bat signed.

Now this is a photomatch! Very nice indeed.

Worldchamps, would you email me please at rgf2@hotmail.com? I have a question for you. Thank you,
Reid

Worldchamps, when did you get the Hamilton bat? I asked because I wondered if the Rangers were still selling his last years bats this year? Also, did you have any idea you were getting a home run bat or was this just good luck?

[worldchamps]

It was at the Winter Bat sale, they had 4 bats, this was the only Louisville Slugger they had, that is the only reason i got it...just got lucky :)

[cjclong]

Thanks for the information. Good pick up, I'm jealous.

[suicide_squeeze]

Way cool worldchamps.........niceeeeeeeee piece!:)

[suicide_squeeze]

Oops......I meant to ask....


Where did you find those great pictures to be able to photo match the bat?

[cjclong]

I had the same question about the pictures.

[worldchamps]

I randomly found them while looking on www.flickr.com

[Fnazxc0114]

the foundation has a few bats from last year you just have to ask the right people

[cjclong]

When you say "The Foundation" what are your referring to? Are they the ones who have the table out on the 3rd base side on the concourse? I almost never see any current bats there. I'd be interested in checking with them. If you can let me know who to contact I would appreciate it. My email is www.long@wacoda.com I usually get up to several games a month at the Ballpark.

Cant see the model number of the LV bat could you advise what it is & thanks

[worldchamps]

It is a C353

[rjdgonebats]

Thanks very much. Its a great bat!!

[worldchamps]

Well....i finally got it signed...just never could get the timing right but got it signed today

[indyred]

Awesome bat and photo match. Where did you get Josh to sign it? The sig looks really good.

[worldchamps]

He was at a local event here....i did get to talk to him for a while, i asked him what he did with the bat from the HR derby....he said he used 1 in the game and it cracked and disappeared...and the one from the Derby also disappeared, he said he didnt care too much, but i told him it was too bad bc that is something the HOF should have got
