Pete Rose D143?

[STLHAMMER32]

Wondering if anyone has shipping records for the D143 model. Any help and info would be greatly appreciated!

Rose's use of H & B model D143 is documented during the 1983-85 labeling period --- one order as an Expo. Additionally, a shipment invoiced to BB Miscellaneous id documented with specified weight, which usually is presumed to be for Rose's personal professional use. In this case, however, the large number of bats ordered at that time makes it very possible that they were used for some promotional purpose, especially given that : 1) it is not a model commonly ordered / used by Rose, and 2) a second promotional order of the model was also invoiced to BB Miscellaneous two years later.

Note that this bat is eligible for certification as explained here http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/showthread.php?t=36515 (http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/showthread.php?t=36515)

if the bat meets the following specifications ---
34.0 in / 32.5 oz / Natural Finish
