ok bat gurus;
i am compiling a list of all model bats that are like this. LS bats are the subject. i know about C276, F123, F138, G105, H176, S219, U1. what other models are out there?
i was watching the 80 series and noticed that rose was using a knobless bat but couldn't make out the model.

There was an H4 model Mickey Owen 1948-49 HB game used bat in a 2005 Grey Flannel auction which was knobless.

thanks brian. i appreciate it.
There are more, those are the ones that showed up as just "Cone Knob". A lot of the others are listed by the type of cone, such as F123, H176 or U1.

I also know that Spahn used a knobless bat atleast in 51-52 and it was H4.
Brooks Robinson 69-72 R180
Luis Aparicio 61-64 A106
And the Pete Rose bat you may possibly be talking of. In at least 1980-82, Rose used a knobless bat modeled R211

U1, D143, R211, R219, G105. I believe also W248, but I don't have an example in front of me right now.
