Re: What do the etched in letters on the knobs of some LSV's mean?
For Professional Model bats (pre 1976) the "etchings" on the knob are model #'s (i.e. M110, P72, O16, etc.). From 1976 present, these same model #'s can now be found on the bat barell. For non-professional bats, the knob etchings are the initials of the player who endorsed the bat and the number indicates the last digit of the length (i.e. MM3 would be a Mickey Mantle bat 33" in length). -

A 2007 bat with anything etched into the knob is either a replica/show bat or a retail bat.Jeff Scott

We have been doing some testing of different things this past season. So you might see a "M", "T", or "S" stamped into the knobs. Those bats were given to players to use and evaluate.
Retail or souvenir bats will have a number on the knob. Test bats generally have a letter. Hopefully we can confuse people a little moreBrian HillerichComment

The "S" stamping is kind of troubling -- it has been used in the past to identify souvenir bats.Jeff Scott

This is good to know. I remember seeing a Francoeur offered a few months ago that had a letter in the knob, an M if I remember right, and it had perfect player charactistics and good use. This expains it.Comment
