Bernie Williams bats

[eric16841]

I was wondering if anyone can help me out with bats that bernie williams may have had game issued to him. I have a bernie williams bat thats not a rawlings big stick. Did he use any other black bats in his career.

Re: Bernie Williams bats

I am no expert, but being a Yankee collector and paying great attention to what Bernie used during his carer here are my two cents. Other than the black Rawlings bats which is by far the bat he used the vast majority of the time, you will also see some LVS bats with his name in Block letters. These tend to be from earlier in his career and the ones I have seen have been natural. I can't recall ever seeing any that were black, not that there aren't any, I just don't recall ever seeing any black ones. I am sure that there were several bat companies that send him bats to try out throughout his career. Not sure if this helps much.

Re: Bernie Williams bats

Dont be confused with Gerald Williams bat since they were both playing at the same time.

These "Williams" on eBay were being touted as Bernie when they are not.

Just my little two cents.

Re: Bernie Williams bats

I scoured through some pics on Getty and it looks like Bernie was swinging a black bat that was not a Rawlings in April and October of 05. Unfortunately I can't make out what it is. There are only 2 shots that show the partial log and I cannot make it out.
