Do I have Brent Wallace's 448 ft. HR bat?
At last night's game, 9-24-2011, against the Rockies, Brent Wallace launched a huge blast of 448 ft. against Jason Hammel. It was the farthest at Minutemaid this year and 4th longest ever.
Here is the pitching sequence:
Bottom 2nd
1st pitch-foul
2nd pitch-HR
Bottom 4th
1st pitch-swing strike
2nd pitch-swing strike
3rd pitch-ball
4th pitch-foul
5th pitch-swing strike
Bottom 7th
1st pitch-Called strike
2nd pitch-Ball
3rd pitch-Foul------Broke bat
I can see 3 distinct marks on bat.
Ball mark on lower half of LS emblem
Ball mark just to the left and slightly below "Houston Astros"
Ball mark just to the left on TPX logo
There is also another area that shows some seam marks
The knob of the bat is dated 08/26/11, 34.0/31.0
Can anyone please help me with screen shots showing where contact was made? Especially the HR
Thank you in advance,
Paul

Can't believe I wrote Brent instead of Brett. I am trying to get some pictures uploaded but I am having problems with my camera/computer.

If the home run was hit last night when did you get the bat?

Re: Do I have Brent Wallace's 448 ft. HR bat?
Guys,
Sorry for the confusion. The bat will be authenticated as the bat that was broken while hitting the foul ball. The number is FJ 722357. I don't believe it is set up in the system just yet.
When he broke his bat, I ran to the Game Used store and explained that I wanted to purchase the bat. They called down to the dugout, the authenticator put the hologram on it, and one of the guys ran down and got it for me. I paid for it and took it back to my seat.
I knew he struck out his 2nd time up so I was pretty sure it was the same bat. Turns out, he justed started using LS bats. This might be his first hit with an LS model as he has been in a horrific slump. He was something like 0 for 28.
His first call up game was Sept. 2 and the date stamp is 8/26/11. I believe he was using Marucci's before then.
There is a nice Getty image showing it was a LS that hit the HR. Just need to confirm it was my LS.

Post photos of the bat... then we can match it with mlb.tv screen shots.

Here are the pictures, I hope. I had a lot of trouble re-sizing them so I am not sure how they will look. Hopefully they will help someone with a photomatch.
