Kevin Pillar is a warrior for returning just weeks after taking a ball to the face that left him with multiple nasal fractures back in May — this much we know.

But was he really using the same bat, covered in blood, from that fateful night during the New York Mets’ game against the Baltimore Orioles, in which he hit two home runs?
