I’ve noticed a lot of people advertise bats as game used, but most are probably fake. Alex Rodriguez bats in particular. Rodriguez most often then not uses a black Louisville slugger possibly a c271 or p72 model, with mlb and tpx logo on it.  Starting in 1999 the mlb logo was added to the barrel of the bat .As of 2001 this logo should appear on the reveres side of the bat behind the player and team name. This a big sign a bat is not a game used or a game issued bat  if it isnt there!!!!!!!
