PSA PLAYER SPOTLIGHT
PSA Q & A Question: I have noticed that some game-used All-Star bats show more usage characteristics than some World Series bats. How can that be if the All-Star Game is merely one game while some World Series battles go seven games?Answer: That is a great question. The reason you see that is the fact that, once the postseason is over, the vast majority of those special World Series bats are laid to rest. It would be extremely rare for a player to come back, the next season, and use one of these bats. With All-Star Game bats, it is entirely different because those games are played in the middle of the season... resulting in possible extended use after the event. If the player really likes the wood or the feel of the bat (we all know how superstitious some players can be) players have been known to occasionally continue to use the bat after the mid-summer classic. Keep in mind that the players of the past received nowhere near the amount of bats per season as the current players do. In addition, some players do not use the All-Star Game or World Series bats at all and, instead, keep them as "trophies." Remember, players are not ordered to use these specially-marked bats in these events, it is up to them. You can find these bats with or without usage characteristics.
