a few months ago i added a Chipper Jones LS 34in black r161 block letter bat to my collection, i was wondering if you could tell me when he ordered these. I know early in his career he used LS and im just curious when he placed orders for this particular model. Thanks for your help!

Here is some early information on Chipper Jones H & B orders.

Looking at the early part of Chipper's career, from 12/28/92 through 8/7/97, the first order that matches your specs is dated 3/26/96 (33 oz) followed by 3 more orders (32 oz) also in 1996. The combined number of bats in those 1996 orders totaled 48 bats. The next order matching your specs is dated 2/4/97 (32 oz) for 12 bats.

Note that during that almost five year period, Jones also ordered R161 models in lengths other than 34 inches. The only other H & B model ordered early in his career was C243 --- two orders totaling 24 bats in early 1993.
