Per MLB, Adrian Beltre used this bat on 9/23/13, when it broke into two lengthwise pieces. According to the original buyer it came from MLB auctions taped as shown. I considered removing the tape and having the bat glued together but after removing some of the tape residue (with Goo Gone, see pics), decided to leave it as is and reattached the tape. The bat shows significant use so it might be worth trying to photomatch it to other games. In 2013, he led the Majors ...in hits with 199 so hopefully it will match to one or more. Beltre is a certain HOFer, a fan favorite, and was one of the best hitters ever to play third base.
