Tokens & Icons Boston Red Sox Bottle Opener
There's no sound like the crack of a bat. But what happens when the bat cracks? Token & Icons turned it into a bottle opener from a game used bat from your team that is sure to be a hit when you use it to crack open your favorite beverage.
This bottle opener is made from an MLB Authenticated Game Used Boston Red Sox Broken Bat.
Wood features scratches and scuffs of bat split from ball impact.
Quality nickel-plated hardware.
Laser engraved with the team name.
Handy leather loop at back for hanging out until pressed into service.
Each opener comes in an MLB gift box with an authentication instruction card.
MLB authenticated game used bat openers are 6-1/2" long not including the cord loop.
Authenticity
Each MLB artifact is authenticated under the auspices of the MLB Authentication Program and carries a uniquely numbered hologram that allows fans to verify their item at MLB.com/authentication. MLB Authenticators witness, log, and adhere holograms to each bat that breaks and comes out of play. Thus the details of each bat are linked to a unique hologram number in this online database.
Bats acquired by Tokens & Icons are then hand-cut, shaped and engraved and an MLB Authenticator affixes an additional secure hologram to each piece of bat (shown right). This hologram is linked to the original artifact hologram. When fans enter the bat ice cream scoop’s hologram into MLB’s site, it reveals the date and rival team of the game in which the bat was removed from play.
The Major League Baseball Authentication Program is the most comprehensive league-wide memorabilia authentication initiative in professional sports. Since its launch in 2001, it has become the industry standard for game used sports authentication. MLB stations an authenticator at every game played throughout the season. This demonstrates a commitment to ensuring all game used artifacts are genuine. For more information, please visit Authentication.
