Sam Bat manufacturing code database

[treant985]

Someone sent in info about a 1997 Enrique Cruz SAM Bat...would that person care to identify themself? I'm very interested in hearing the story behind that bat, as they didn't get MLB approval until the 1998 season.

Is there any interest in updating Jeff's database with new bats?

BTW, I'm still very interested in that 1997 enrique cruz bat...

I have a Canceso SAM bat that is from the Yankees so it is a 2000, but the end of the barrel is completely flat with no usual SAM indentation and no writing. Not sure I have seen this before. Any thoughts from anyone on this?

I've seen this on an early Albert Belle SAM Bat. Try looking for a date on the handle...it might not be there, but if it is, it might be very difficult to see. I'd appreciate any pics you have of it: treant985@triad.rr.com .

Can anybody shed any light on the "TY'S" model SAM Bats? All of the other models are just players' initials who were the first to order that kind, except for Bonds's 2K1 (eg, JC1=Joe Carter, KB1=Kimera Bartee, etc).
