Mighty Bats

[kudu]

Does anyone know much about these bats? I have one from the San Diego Padres, and I am trying to figure out a time frame of when it was made and if it is a retail/store model or a bat that could have been used in games. Any info would be great.

Here are some shots of my St Louis Cardinals "Mighty Bat". Bat has not seen any use, just a small blemish to the left of "KC". The bat has R161 in sliver sharpie on the knob and barrel end. Whether the KC 388 if an equal to the LS R161, I don't know. Knob has a manufacture stamp of 4 (34") then "388" for the model number and then a 1 for 31 oz. ?? The barrel nomenclature and logo are etched just below the black surface.

Anyone having any questions, email me at woodbat@bellsouth.net

This Boggs bat listed on ebay by Zane Burns seems to have more info stamped in the knob.....

Does not have the traditional Boggs 12 written on the end....

Thanks David and woodbat for the pics and info.

I noticed in the article that Jason posted, it mentioned Tony Gwynn . If the "1" on my bat is in reference to the weight, I am wondering if it could be a bat Gwynn used in BP or Spring Training. Are there any Gwynn collectors out there that have a Gwynn Mighty KC Bat ?? Or know of Gwynn using a Mighty KC Bat ??

Does anyone know Mike Holmes, the founder of Mighty KC Bats? Or know how to get a hold of him? I am trying to locate some contact info on him. It looks like he is still in the Kansas City area and is a VP at a financial business with no website. Any help would be great. Thanks!
