Jim, I'm sure you have seen them, but now there are S2 and S44 Mattingly bats on ebay. They are mid-80's. New models are popping up all the time. Do you know anything about either of these. Thanks.

Both bats you are referring to are from the 1986 - 1989 Louisville Slugger lebeling period. There are no orders by the Yankees, Baseball Miscellaneous, or any other promotional entity for S2 or S44 models during this time period. The Columbus Clippers did order Mattingly two ( 2 ) S44 model bats on 8/16/82. There is a Baseball Miscellaneous order for one ( 1 ) S2 model bat on 11/06/85. It is quite possible that the S2 could be a transition bat due to how late in the year the bat was produced. It may have been produced with a registered symbol after Slugger on the barrel. There are no other S2 or S44 orders by Mattingly on his records.

I hope this info helps....let me know if there are any other questions. Jim
