I know Hank Aaron used the A-99 a lot. What about the R-43? It is listed as a 1973-75 labeling period, seller says it is 35" long. Or is this a team index bat?

Not according to Vince Malta's book. He last ordered an R43 in 1963(34" 33oz). He ordered various R43's in 1955-1957.

Sorry I should have said...YES he did use the bat, but not in the 73-75 era. I hope this helps.

Thanks, I thinking something wasn't right. So this would be a team index bat, right?
