Hi,

I have been a long time reader of this forum. I finally decided to join when I came across this bat at my parents house. My parents have lived at the house for 30 years. I can remember playing with this bat as a little kid. I don't know where it came from or who cut off the knob. I can tell that it is a 125 H&B Louisville Slugger Powerized. I know it is hard to see in the scan but I checked it under a magnifying glass and on the barrel end it says Genuine Yogi Berra. It says something under Yogi's name but I cannot make it out.

I have learned from reading this board that on game issued H&B bats there is a 125 below the Louisville Slugger trademark along with the Powerized with two lightning bolts. My questions are as follows. Is it possible that this bat is actually a game model Yogi Berra Bat? Would it be benifical to have this bat authenticed by Mears or PSA?

Thank you for any info that you can give me.

Black foil stamping/lettering = Store Model bat.

Thank you for the quick response.

On an actual game model bat the H&B Logo with the 125, the Powerized designation, & the players name would be burned into the bat instead of foil stamped?

Thanks for the education,
Andy
