Does anyone know if any players used the pink Mother's Day bats in any games in 2008 and which players did? The original Mother's day game was postponed until 5/12/08. Any help would be appreciated. HENMICK44@OPTONLINE.NET

From what I remember a few teams got rained out that year and were allowed to use them in their next game. You could watch video of Pirates next game after that date and see who used them.

I don't have access to MLB.tv but I found this archived article on the Pirates website with info about the use of the Mother's Day bats in '08

It may have been used in BP since the Nady bat you use to own showed use but according to this article he wouldn't have actually used it in a game. Probably should see if someone could verify things with MLB.tv
