 The bat was gifted to me by best friend. I'm told it's an actual game used bat. I have suspicions on that. Ball is signed by Chase Headley and Will Venable. I got that on my recent Spring Training trip. He also has a mad stash of baseball cards in which I might request to acquire.

Knob: (he was #3 for the Tigers so that leads more credence that this was a game bat. However, I took it at as bat length/weight difference like a 30/33 is a 3, also) Bat: (another thing that had my suspicions, is his name on it. I don't know if that's akin to Roy Halladay having his name stitched on glove.)  Grip:

jeffersonlives posted:So, it's the same thing with any game used bat. It's a consistent style match. Unless you can find a photo of that particular bat in Trammell's hands or have great provenance, you can't be sure that it isn't a game model that was used by someone else, or a BP bat. It's almost certainly not a fake, because it's an awful lot of trouble to go through to forge a bat that might sell for $150-200 at auction. Tangent: When I was about 8 years old I found a baseball that was signed by lots of well known players. Signed by Reggie Jackson, Rollie Fingers, Gene Tenace to name a few. Not knowing what I found, grabbed my bat and started to play ball with it. I destroyed probably at most a thousand dollar baseball into rubbish. Not a single signature was legible. Go me!
