Blog: October 5-October 11, 2009

October 7, 2009. No new bats in tonight's game. If someone does use a different stick during the post-season, I'll find some way to note that on the bat use chart... Pujols ended the regular season using nothing but Marucci. In fact, except for a natural bat he swung during three plate appearances on April 21, his bats were all Gwynn-finished... I've added several new bats and jerseys to the sale inventory section. Shop 'til you drop!

October 8, 2009. I've updated Pujols' bat use records. They can be found here. As you'll see on that page, I've been tracking every Pujols plate appearance since the 2004 World Series... The Gibson bat that sold on eBay a few days ago was, indeed, legit. It was confirmed by the buyer. Unfortunately, he's already flipped it to a friend of mine. The bad news is, it will not leave it's new home; the good news is the collector likely will be selling a 1974 Gibson bat to make room for his acquisition. If you're interested, keep checking back.

October 10, 2009. After nuking every Pujols rookie jersey I've ever seen on eBay, I'm pleased to say this one has all the signs of being legit. Yeah, it has tails, but it likely was worn for one jersey-off-the-back day. Stiff price, but all things considered, not outrageous... The season has ended, but the blog goes on. I plan on posting more often this off season, at least once a week. So, stay tuned!
