I just picked up a bat which I belevie was used by JIm Thome in the 2006 All-Star Game in his one AB he shattered his bat and the barrell end was handed into the crowd I just got the bat out of Pittsburgh and it is missing the knob end of the bat and is broken in the same patteren I remember it being broken on tv. I cannot find any photos of Thome from that game any advice on where I could look would be appreciated.

Here are the best photos I could take the bat is pounded with use and the pinetar is still fresh. A local guy I know got it off of ebay then needed money very quickly so i got it for a steal of a deal so even if it is not the All Star bat 50 bucks aint bad anyways

Just got my DVD of the ALl-Star Game today. AFter many freeze frames i do beelive the shattered bat you see above is form the all-star game. the wear on the barrell end of the bat is identical paint wore away and all and the break is a dead on match. My question now is what is something like this worth considering it is video matched to a all-star game the bat has a ton of use to it so we know it wasnt just used in that at bat that at bat was just its final

Pretty cool that you could viseo match it. Is there a good shot of the bat shown? Can you make a good photo from a video? A photo match will make the bat worth quite a bit more. Especially with it being used in All Star game.....
