I am hoping Brian or someone can assist with the following questions regarding commemorative black bats that had the names of all the team's players, coaches, and the manager on the bats.

1. Is it true that a player's facsimile signature was used if he was under H&B contract; block lettering if not under contract?
2. What years were World Series Black Bats made?
3. What years were All-Star Black Bats made?
4. What years did teams have special orders such as the Oakland's commemorative green bats and Cincinnati's red bats in the early 1970s?
5. The A's green bat that I have from 1972 has all the names in facsimile signature form (no block lettering). If the A's had green bats made in 1973 and 1974, were these also in an all signature format?
6. Were the Reds' bats in an all signature format as well?

Any assistance will be most gratefully appreciated!
