I have only one Kurt Suzuki bat that I photo-matched to a homerun.
This is an Ian Desmond bat, apparently Ian stopped using the Mizuno bats towards the end of the 2012 season when he converted over to Marucci. Kurt really liked the bat so Ian gave him whatever he had left of the Mizuno bats. Kurt hit his first home run of the year with this bat in the top of the 2nd inning before breaking it in the 6th inning. The bat is photo-matched to the April 07, 2013 game against the Cincinnati Reds. MLB Authenticated EK329780.
Bat used by Billy Hamilton (Schumaker model) when he hit his first career leadoff HR vs. Brewers on 6/15/14. Also matched to 8 other hits during his June Rookie of Month campaign.
On August 24, 1999, Mark McGwire hit his 51st home run of 1999. It was his 508th career home run and his 493rd as a first baseman, tying the MLB record set by Lou Gehrig. At some point, McGwire cracked the bat and decided to give it to his soon-to-retire teammate, Willie McGee. Mac inscribed on the bat: "To Willie, A True Pro. Your Friend, Mark McGwire. HR #51, 8/24/99."
