Bryce Harper Game Used - Bible Bat

[schubert1970]

Andrew - Awsome pics and thanks for sharing.

I was looking at the bat he used for BP and it was a Marucci with his name instead of a Bible verse.

Did anyone else find it ironic that Harper had a ringside seat to watch Albert Pujols hit homerun #400, considering Pujols is 1) the best player of our generation (if not one of the best of all time) 2) a model of Christian faith and 3) a player drafted in the 13th round with absolutely no hype.

I wish all the best to young Mr. Harper, and encourage him to walk humbly with the Lord, while keeping in mind that just like living your faith, the game of baseball can be harder than it looks.

I'm a bit embarassed to say what I paid, and I'm sure I would receive some negative comments from some forum members. It would just take away my enjoyment of having the bat if I told you how much.

I wrote Marucci Bats today to ask them how many of these bats were produced.

Wow, I am soooooooo jealous!! That bat is awesome!! I do not buy game bats of players from teams other than the Mariners but I believe I am going to make my first exception in over a decade.

It's a beautiful bat and it really doesn't matter what he believes in...but from what has been reported this kid in college acted like an arrogant punk on the field. He will clean it up once he grows up, but still.

From wherever he's currently in exile, Barry Bonds says "hi".

If Harper had endorsed Verizon Wireless on the barrel of his bat, everyone here would be up in arms...and MLB would have banned the bat faster than you could say "product placement". That's what this message is: a product placement. Nothing more or less. What's next "Sarah Palin for President"?
A players bat should have his name, the team name and a model number. Maybe a jersey number like Miguel Cabrerra...but that's it. You want to sell something...be it a product, an ideology, whatever...do it on your own time.

Now...on to Pujols and LaRussa and the GlenBeckistan rally yesterday.

He isn't endorsing anything. Maybe he just wants a little reminder when he goes to bat.

I think I disagree with you guys somewhat. I think that it the kid wants to put a Bible verse on the bat, who cares. Like flota said, I don't think he's using it to try and convert people. It's not really any different than when I believe it was Delmon Young, who used bats with "Cool Larry" written on them in honor of his father. It's appears to be the same principle. Both wish to pay respect, I'm guessing, to those whom they credit their success.
