Need some help...
Cal Ripken Jr, 1983-1985, Uncupped FT finish, P72, 35", 35 oz (35 is also written in pencil on knob)., #8 on both ends (looks vintage). Ripken Sr.'s auto burned in... It has no use and is signed by Cal (his old school, 80's-style signature). Story behind it is it came via a friend of a teammate in the 80's.
I emailed Mike Specht about it last week and he listed off a few orders, but nothing matches the 35. oz weight. One comes close—5/24/83 (35" / 34oz)...
So, what is this? Game issued or promo?
Also: Did LVS bother marking the weight on promo bats in the 80's?
