any ideas on who this is?

[OaklandAsFan]

Friend of mine came across this bat but no clue who it is. any thoughts? There is a 7 written on the end of the knob if that helps and it has the MLB logo between the centerbrand and the name stamp to help date it.

thanks in advance

My guess would be Bobby Crosby, but I bet I'm wrong.

Do you have a time frame of what years it could be from? I know you said it is signature engraved, but does it have some stamp or something?

Hmmm...here are the players that used that number
Frank Menechino (1999)
Jeremy Giambi
Bobby Crosby
Kurt Abbott (1998)
Scott Brosius (1997)
Mike Kingery (1992)
1991 wasn't issued to anyone
Walt Weiss (1990)
Jerry Willard (1986)
Charlie O'Brien (1985)
Mike Edwards (1980)
Rick Bosetti (1981)
Dan Meyer (1983)
in 1984 it wasn't issued in the bigs.

probably too much info...but with out a narrower set of dates that the bat could be from I bid you good luck and I hope it helps.

I say its probably a minor leaguer. definitely isn't Crosby.

In an attempt to narrow down Wade's list, team names (as seen in the photo) were added to the barrel of Louisville Slugger bats in 1991.

This leaves only the following as possibilities:

Frank Menechino (1999)
Jeremy Giambi
Bobby Crosby
Kurt Abbott (1998)
Scott Brosius (1997)
Mike Kingery (1992)

Unless we're talking about a minor leaguer, as previously hypothesized in the thread.

I am going to guess it is Frank Menechino to me the first letter looks like an F and the last an O.

It definitely is not Frank Menechino, Bobby Crosby, Scott Brosius or Jeremy Giambi.

From the labeling described it sounds like a 1999-2001 era bat. So only Jermey Giambi and Frank Menechino wore the number 7 during the time period. It was Frank in 99 and Jeremy in 2000-01. Due to that fact and the look of the signature, I would say Frank.
