Hi,

Hoping you could tell me if Rose ordered model R79 bats in the 1980s?


Thanks,:)

Hi Dave--

A review of Pete's factory records from his playing career, 4/8/63 to 8/17/86 shows no documented orders of any model R79 bats at any time. No orders appear to Rose or any promo entity post-career between 9/26/86 to10/29/87 and between 5/15/95 through 7/18/97. I do not have any post-career shipping records between 10/29/87 and 5/15/95. Perhaps jim can fill in those blanks.

As you know, Rose was one of the most mass marketed (and self-promoted) athletes of his generation.

Good Luck.

Hi Dave - just to add to Mike's comments during Rose's post career records between 10/29/87 and 5/15/95, there are no orders listed for R79 model bats. If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know. Jim - jcaravello@nc.rr.com
