Not sure why you have 2 threads started about this, but I'd try to keep everything in one. :D

When did Prado use this bat? I'll try to help you out

[Reid9843]

[Dach0sen0ne]

According to the MLB HOLOGRAM on your bat it provided the following info:
Hologram number LH641439 was located in the MLB Authentication Database under GAME-USED BROKEN BAT.

I didnt even think about looking at that, well thanks, if ya find any pictures let me know

[Dach0sen0ne]

Here's a couple of pics, you can try to match them against your bat. Good Luck.

[Reid9843]

where do you find this pictures

[Dach0sen0ne]

Screen shots from the game using MLB.TV. It looks like he used 3 different bats this game. The first pics I posted were not your bat, from at bats 1 and 2. The wood is too light. In his 3rd at bat he used a Marucci, definitely not your bat and his fourth at bat looks like yours and I captured these pics.

[Reid9843]

I think that is it, how do i upload a pic from here now

[Reid9843]

I think thats it

[Dach0sen0ne]

You click on manage attachments, in additional options when you are replying/creating a thread. Then browse to the pic on your computer and click upload. After it uploads, close the upload window and post your reply.

a better pic

The grain appears to match

[Reid9843]

Do yall think the pictures i took of the blue on the bat, matches the photo?

[Reid9843]

Can anybody with MLB.TV watch the game and see if he broke it, For April 28th 2010.

[spartakid]

Definitely looks like a match, you can see the dark grain line right over Prado's name on the bat.

[Reid9843]

I see. Im needing more than one person to say its a match, like kyle, he is good at photo matching

[Manram]

Looks like a match to me

[lakeerie92]

1) Kyle already said the grain looks like a match.
2) You don't even need one person to tell you it is a match, the MLB hologram tells you that. Based on the photos he only uses that model in one at bat so it is pretty easy to narrow it down. Nice bat.

[Reid9843]

thanks.

[kylehess10]

I'm working on trying to get the video. Are you willing to sell the bat?

[Reid9843]

maybe, i guess it just all depends

[kylehess10]

Is the bat broken in two (not repaired)?

[Dach0sen0ne]

Looks good.

[Reid9843]

its broken, the only thing holding it together is tape. one piece.

[Reid9843]

Looks good. thanks man

I'm working on trying to get the video. Are you willing to sell the bat?

Want me to put it on a DVD with an interactive menu? Of course I'll have express written consent from MLB. LOL

[Reid9843]

did ya find a video?

[Dach0sen0ne]

They don't mention it being broken, but it's clearly in the picture.

[Reid9843]

Can u send the video to my email?

[Dach0sen0ne]

It would be way to large for email.

[Reid9843]

email sent.

[Reid9843]

How can i get the video of him breaking it?
