Hello Brian,
I was just curious on details for Old Timers Day game bats in general. I refer to a Casey Stengel old timers day game bat that was up for auction. The bat's design seemed right on as did the signature branded in the barrell, however it did not have the "Old Timers Day" stamped into the barrell like some bats show.
I wanted to verify:
1) If they should always have the "Old Timers Day" stamped or was there a period when that started/stopped.
2) Are these bats the closest thing you can get to an actual game issued/used bat from their playing days? I mean obviously the model is exact but the weight might be made lighter (as the player may be older), correct? Also is the grade of wood used the highest quality?
Thanks!
