Re: 1976 Bench and Rose bats
Hi Scott - in 1976, Bench and Rose ordered the following bats:
Johnny Bench
3-16-76 ( B278C Flame Burned - Wide Grain ) 35.5", 32.5 oz. - 6 Bats
3-23-76 ( B278C FB - WG - No Finish on Handle ) 35.5", 33 oz. - 6 Bats
3-23-76 ( Mc44 FB - NFOH ) 35", 32 oz. - 6 Bats ( hard to read if WG )
5-7-76 ( B278C FB - NFOH ) 35.5", 33 oz. - 12 Bats
6-18-76 ( R43 FB - WG - NFOH ) 35.5", 34 oz. - 12 Bats
6-18-76 ( B278C FB - WG - NFOH ) 35.5", 33 oz. - 12 Bats
7-22-76 ( B278C FB - WG ) 35.5", 32 oz. - 12 Bats
8-17-76 ( A99C Hickory ) 35.5", 33 oz. - 12 Bats
8-17-76 ( B278C FB - WG - Mrk. Wts on Knob ) 35.5", 33 oz - 12 Bats
8-25-76 ( B316 ) 35.5", 33 oz - 6 Bats ( Made from B278 Barrel & H176 Knob )
10-18-76 ( B278 - FB ) 35", 33 ounces
Please Note - "C" stands for cupped end.
Pete Rose
3-16-76 ( S222 Nat. Finish - WG - Mk. Wts ) 35", 35 oz. - 12 Bats
3-23-76 ( Identical order to 3-16-76 above )
5-7-76 ( R203 (new model) WG - Mk. Wts ) 35", 34 oz. and 35 oz. - no #
8-17-76 ( R195 WG - Mk Wts - Galen Finish ) 35", 35 oz - 12 Bats
10-18-76 ( Identical order to 8-17-76, except 12 bats ordered )
It should be noted that Rose was using a lot of Adirondack bats duing the 75 - 76 time period and thus, the lower number of LS orders compared to Bench.
If I can be of any further assistance, please contact me. Thanks and happy hunting! Jim - jcaravello@nc.rr.com
