Can you shed any light on my Pete Rose R211 LS? This is a flair nob bat 80-83 from what I can tell. 34.5 oz in pencil on the nob.
thanks!!

Pete Rose orders of R211 bats w/ length of 34.5 inches 1980-1983):

1980- 14 bats
1981- 12 bats (possibly some more unrecorded orders as H & B went to new system and there may be a gap in records)
1982- 27 bats
1983- 12 bats

17 of the above 65 bats are BB Miscellaneous with specified weight thus presumed to be for Rose's personal professional use. Unfortunately, the weight is probably not going to help much in distinguishing between orders after 25 years or so, as the weights were very close--- All were either 32 oz, 32.5 oz, or 33 oz in weight. Not much help on the finish either, as all were Natural (Regular) or Wax finishes throughout that period.
