thanks mike. regarding those other finishes, what do they look like? being that this bat matches other bats i have i will say it is natural. i will get it weighed tommorow.

32.25oz! could it have lost 2.75oz assuming that it was a 35oz? i doubt it was a 33ozer!:eek:

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE WEIGHT ISSUE?

It's very unlikely that a bat from this era would have lost any weight -- whatever it weighs now should be its original weight.

Hi Ivan - although I agree with Greg's comments based on years of weighing bats from the 1970's, there are differing opinions on this topic. Here is the link to a thread posted earlier this year with some good info to consider. Thanks, Jim

i don't understand all of that terminology so i will assume that the bat weighed 33oz. that seems quit light for big manny back then. you said that manny used 36" bats ranging from 33-37oz. now the response i recieved from mike is that manny ordered

7/15/77 35.5oz 6 bats
3/4/78 35oz 3 bats
3/6/78 35oz 3 bats

so if the bat i have is indeed a 33oz bat, when did you order 33oz 36" bats? to go from louisville to pittsburgh and loose almost 3oz sounds odd to me but then again i am not a scientist to know all those formulas. :eek:
