Did I miss out on this years pink mothers day bats? I know they said they were going to be auctioned off on mlb.com but did they do that already? I thought I logged on the day after mothers day to see what they put up and never saw them? I must be blind? Did they already auction them off?

No, we haven't missed them yet. I believe they were auctioned on MLB about mid June last year. I did email MLB and asked when they were going to auction them this year and got a generic response with no usable info.

If anyone sees or hears anything please let us know!

I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know when MLB is going to auction off the mothers day bats? Specific date or just a general idea would be great!

A couple have already made it to the site, but nothing en masse.

Here are some interesting things I noticed.

There are 2 Giambi bats listed- Did he use 2 bats during that game?
There are 2 Mathis bats listed - Same question?

Arod & Jeters bats starting bid is at $300
David Wrights starting bid is at $500?????

Did they mispell Johnny Damons name on his bat?
"Yome Damon"

I think Yome is the name of his Mom. She is Japanese.

damon has done this in the past. i am surprise more players dont do this.

are there other players that put their moms name on the bat?

Yeah, several guys have two bats... I think I heard most players order two, primarily in case one breaks early in the game, plus it helps raise twice as much money for charity. I believe some guys last year used one bat in BP and a second in the game so they had a couple with "use" for the auctions. Some of the second bats I've seen are clean and have little to no use, more of a game issued bat... Similar for some guys that didnt make the lineup, their bats may show no use either.

You can have it

I wouldn't pay $3 for one of his bats let alone $300

The only Reds bat up that I want is the Jay Bruce but I can't justify spending that much for a bat that was used one time

And he didn't even use it the whole game

Just an FYI,

The game used Pablo Sandoval bat is not an actual Sandoval bat. He may have used it during the game, but it looks to be someone eles's signature model. It looks like the signature stamped in was blacked out by a marker? Also pablo's auto on the back of the bat does not match the signature stamped into the bat. He probably did not order a pink bat of his own and wanted to use Rowand's or someone's. Too steep a price for me!
