Matt Cain Louisville slugger model M110 photo matched to his only at bat in the bottom of the second With the base is loaded game one of the 2012 NLDS in San Francisco. Cain lined out to right field during this bat. Despite the grainy image when magnified, The ball marks under the MLB and TPX branding on the back barrel, two pine tar marks and a Black bat rack streak- are where the matches were made. This bat shows very good use so was likely use during his last regular season starts as well.

Brandon Crawford mid September 2012 GAME-USED Louisville slugger. In the middle of the 2012 NLDS, he started using Max bats primarily and this continued on through the end of his time with SF. It would’ve been nice to see him Keep using LVS as is much more visually appealing brand- in my humble opinion. 😁
