Are there any H&B bat shipping records for John Denny in the late 70's when he was with the Cardinals?
I have a block letter "DENNY" bat model number G105 that is 35 inches long.
Thanks for any help.

No records for John Denny here, but you might contact Jeff at www.Birdbats.com (http://www.Birdbats.com) to see if he has any info.

Mike,

I looked in my files and was surprised to see I do have Denny's bat order records. He ordered the G105 in 1976 only -- all flame burned, all 35", weights of 30, 33 and 33.5 ounces. If bats made during the regular season had the Bicentennial logo, then it's logical to assume your bat is from the 11/11/76 order of 6 bats (35", 33 oz.), which presumably would have been used in 1977. The uniform number on the knob is correct. All in all, it seems to be a perfect Denny bat, pinpointed to factory records.
