I know that LS has records of bats ordered by players, but do they have records of World Series black bats?

The reason I ask is because I would like to know how many 1958 Milwaukee Braves black bats were made. I've heard they are rare, but what is rare? Any help would be appreciated. :)

I'm sure we did at one time but I doubt they were kept longer than 7yrs required by law.

They are believed to have been made in quanities of 200-300 each year. Hope that helps.

Thank you gentlemen. I wasn't sure if there were any records, or if any sort of numbers were out there. What information you guys have shared did answer my questions, thank you. :)

After asking the numbers were 200-300 most the times. When Florida won it was 500...of course that is when we had "Floridia" on the bats:(

Thanks for taking the time to confirm the number. That is fairly rare, or not exactly common, depending on how you look at it. :)

I picked up the '58 Braves one a few months back because a friend of mine is one of the players listed and he has one also. Now I can share this information with him.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond. :)
