I believe this to be a 1969 bat... Tony was 5 years into his major league career with the twins. I cannot imagine it would be a college bat.

I think what he meant was that colleges/universities were able to order professional model bats with their name underneath the player's facsimile signature...This bat was not used by Oliva

Yes, I've seen many LVSs with a famous player, then a college name below it. EOC is probably E____ O____ College. Could be E____ Occupational College...some place that doesn't exist anymore.
