I don't doubt the seller. He has great feedback and adds tremendous items daily. I'd just like to get some other opinions on the item. I'm always looking for interesting Clemente items.

One thing I like is that Clemente started ordering this model and length in 1961, and continued ordering them every year through 1965. So it's possible he used one of Groat's bats, liked it, and therefore started ordering those for himself.

I wonder if you could ask John Taube if the #21 looks right. He probably has images of several to compare with.

It would be a good idea to contact John Taube... Good thinking. I have seen Clemente bats of this make and model, but not very many, so I don't know too much about them.
