What is the story with these types of bats? I would imagine they were store model but why is the designation "125S." What difference between the regular 125 store models and the 125S.

The particular bat I am thinking of is an Eddie Mathews model S2. The word "special" is written on the barrel where "genuine" usually is.

It is something I have always wondered and thought this would be the place for an answer. The thread on the Eddie Mathews coaches bat reminded me of this questions.

Thanks for your help.
