Why is the title Mantle bat when they are jackie Robinson's bats. The second bat is a store model because of the number 5 stamped on the knob and because it was produced in the 1980's. The first bat was made during the mid 1950's. Has a model number stamped on the knob(R17). Bat was a team order/index because Robinson never order R17 that were 34 inches. Tuff luck it was not 35 inches long.
