Just curious how Red Schoendienst bat is a probable world series bat? Also do you know what the letters on the knob mean?

I'm a catcher's freak so when I saw this I had to have it:



Ivan Rodriguez autographed game used catcher's mask. Provenance from the Texas Rangers equipment manager. I'm still trying to photomatch it but looks like it dates to the 96-97 seasons.

Assuming this is an S210 model the speculation is based on the timing of the order. From the Malta guide it looks like the 33" S210 model was ordered by Schoendienst only in 1958. I don't have the dates of the order(s), but if one or both were made in late September then it would certainly be possible that it was used in the World Series.

My original post should have read "speculation is likely based on the timing of the order".

Ordering records. was shipped 4 bats on 9/22/58 for the WS. But because he was sick with what later was diagnosed as tuberculosis he ordered 3 inch shorter bats and was shipped 2 on the day of game 1-the S210 model. this bat is 3 inches shorter. His only other shipment of this model was end of December for 2 more bats. By that time he was in the hospital and would be for months. He didn't play again till late 1959. Red had 6 orders of bats shipped june 1959 till the date of his return which are bats he would have used during rehab. Thses bats would certainly show much more use as batting practice bats. this info is thanks to Jeff Scott of Birdbats

Awesome bat and research, even tracking Red's TB. Just great info. sometimes the stories behind pickups are the best part. Nice Berkman helmet as well.

Picked up some cool stuff today:

2014 Pham Postseason jersey
1975 Bob Forsch jersey (thanks to Jeff Scott for authenticating and letting me buy it!)
2015 Wainwright postseason home jersey
Also bought a 2011 Rafael Furcal World Series game used bat

[TigersCubs84]

I saw that Furcal bat at Tom's booth. I told him I thought that was the deal of the weekend as far as that particular dealer area goes. Couldn't believe a Cardinal fan didn't snap that up quick. Great tar and use too.
