Need help varifying the year of this bat

[Tay1038]

Hello.

Could someone help me out on the year of this Mike Schmidt bat. The bottom of the knob reads 194VP. It is a Adirondack Pro Ring blonde bat.

Thank you & kind regards

Tay, If you still need help, I would suggest birdbats.com Jeff`s website has good Louisville Slugger (H & B) info, also has Rawlings models. Click on "Identifying Gamers" & go from there. Also Andy has some good info vintagebats.com
May I also suggest posting a few pics of said Bat??? The Mid-label area & Barrel. Hopefully you have what you need,
Sean

Hi Tay--

If you are unable to pinpoint the year of manufacture from the sources identified by Sean, post pictures or completely describe the center and barrel labels of the bat, including the length, and we can help you. In the meantime, model 194VP is an identified Adirondack professional model which is most closely identified with (but not limited to) Vada Pinson.

Good Luck
