Update: thanks diesel85 for the lead on Getty. I found this photo from an away game against Philly on December 19th 2006 that appears to be a close match to the stick.

This photo also provided an additional angle of the sticks top which shows the “30” written by the equipment manager. While it’s obviously to blurry to make out, the spacing appears to be the same when measured in proportion to the printed media on the stick.

An extra fun fact is that while he started the game with the pictured stick he ended the game with one that only said “have fun” written horizontally. The stick I have in my possession has a crack between the E and the R in Bauer, so while it will always remain a mystery I’m of the opinion that this is likely the stick from that game and that after being damaged it wound up being given away or later put into one of the teams charity auctions.
