Jorge Posada nope but close!!

Well I havent been on here in a long time but I couldnt help myself but to post this one auction that I came across. I honestly found it more funny than anything else.

I am not questioning the bat or even saying the seller is doing anything wrong. He is probably just going by the obvious. And the coincidence is actually pretty funny. Just for all purposes though I did contact the seller to let him know what he really has.

I do believe it is a real Jorge Posada bat only problem is, it wasn't used by him. It was used by Josh Phelps.

For obvious reasons it does not have the tape job on the handle normally done by Posada.
But it does have J.P. on the knob which is identical to the handwriting of Josh Phelps and slight pine tar on the handle which Phelps does do and sometimes Mota Stick.

Funny how both players have the same initials.

Still a good conversation piece!!

Glad to see you are still around :D

I was wondering what was up with that bat?? Good catch

I personally don't trust anyone who doesn't know how to crop out their toes or who posts the shipping quoted by eBay is wrong!

What's worse to see in a photo...this guy's toes or the other eBay seller's toilet seat?

Would most definitely have to be the toes.:D

Maybe they're not his toes. Could they be packing peanuts?

Nice old school thread...good to see alot of old names!

Wasn't there one a while back where of a picture or mirror...and you could see way too much more in the reflection?

I agree that I don't care to see toes, toilets, or anything else....

As the resident Josh Phelps collector on GUU (yes, I really collect Josh's stuff!), that is his handwriting. If you ever care to move the bat, I'd love to add it to my collection (12 Phelps bats and counting!). Thanks and take care...Matt

Call up Rudy and Howard W. It's a party...:)
