I've recently picked up a Mark Grace Rawlings/Adirondack bat. The label dates the bat from 87-89. I know from 80-88 date codes were single digits. 8=1988 I thought I read in 89 dates were changed to two digit codes. 89=1989 But the code on my bat is 09. Is this bat from 1989?

Always looking for game used bats from Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Jody Davis, Shawon Dunston, Jerome Walton, Rick Sutcliffe, and Greg Maddux. Preferably CUBS era bats.

Hi Scott,
Your bat is from 1989. In 1990 the year code became '90'. -

Jim, ask and you shall receive.
Not a lot of pine tar. But according to every picture I've seen, Grace didn't use a lot of pine tar early in his career.
Sorry for the low res pics. I can't seem to figure out my wife's digital camera, so I had to use the webcam.SCOTT
