is this a match?

The grain pattern behind "M" looks to be in different direction. Always good to check it out though.

It's a diff grain pattern cause it's two diff bats, just saying the m's look written by same guy I think

[joecoco]

Got it: You are looking for a style match rather than a photomatch. I would agree, they look to be in same hand.

Yeah i showed it to a mcgwire collector and he said it's a mcgwire pre rookie years bat and def his writing. Ill post more pics of it later if any one else is good at mcgwire traits from 87 era lvs bats

I went to compare the 1985 McGwire I used to own and found out that the photo you used in the first post (connected MAC) is from that same bat.

Haha yeah I only found three "mac" examples on line. So batmaster, does my knob look like it could be a mac knob? And second question is let's say his writing his confirmed and bat marks or tar matches up to his type of use, what would it be worth? It's a 1987 lvs s2 with another players signature name on it (not same team but played same AA league)
