Hi Brian, I have a Jose Bautista T141 black bat 33.5 inches maybe 31 oz. its a Pirates bat (2005-08) can you narrow it down any? Thanks!

You are in luck, he only ordered that once as a Pirate before we started marking the knobs.

Thanks a lot Brian.

I can see some vey faint markings on the knob but can't make them out. What info did H&B put on the knobs and when did that start?

Also why do players order bats in October? For the next year or??

We started laser engraving the knobs with the date, length and weight in 2008.

Maybe he wanted to hit in the off season. Also, at the end of the season is when we start getting in timber for the Spring, it's actually the best time to order bats because there isn't any orders. He might not have been the one to order the bats, it could have been the equipment manager.
