"knobless" bats

[momen55]

ok bat gurus;
i am compiling a list of all model bats that are like this. LS bats are the subject. i know about C276, F123, F138, G105, H176, S219, U1. what other models are out there?
i was watching the 80 series and noticed that rose was using a knobless bat but couldn't make out the model.

[ndevlin]

I also believe models M142 and G152 are knobless as well.

[ndevlin]

momen---You can see the M142 and G152 bats at Tim's site. www.hofbats.com (http://www.hofbats.com) Under his vintage bats for sale. Give me your address and I'll see if I can take a pic of the H173 for you.

thanks brian. i appreciate it.

There are more, those are the ones that showed up as just "Cone Knob". A lot of the others are listed by the type of cone, such as F123, H176 or U1.

[ndevlin]

I also know that Spahn used a knobless bat atleast in 51-52 and it was H4.

Brooks Robinson 69-72 R180
Luis Aparicio 61-64 A106

And the Pete Rose bat you may possibly be talking of. In at least 1980-82, Rose used a knobless bat modeled R211

[momen55]

thanks guys! keep them coming!:D

[BMH]

An U1 is the same as a H4

[tacprc]

U1, D143, R211, R219, G105. I believe also W248, but I don't have an example in front of me right now.

[bigtruck260]

Here is a W248 from eBay...Looks like a knob is there...but it has a flare of some sort.
