I was able to pick up two hammered Eddie Murray bats from the 1992-93 era. Both are cracked, and one has a five-ring tape job, while the other just has one ring of tape around the knob. Mike Specht gave this info in the forum back in 1996:
Murray's first documented order of M275 bats was shipped on 7/17/89. Thereafter, until his final game on 9/20/97, the models M275, M275L, and M275X became his models of choice. They can be found in a wide variety of finishes, including Flame Treated/Burned, Galen, Hornsby, Black, Hickory, and no finish.
In the brown finishes, 35 inch model M275 Murray bats with a Hornsby Finish were specific to 1991. Hickory Finish was found on M275 Murray bats measuring 35 inches in 1991 and 1992. Hickory Finish on M275 Murray bats measuring 35.5 inches was found in 1993 and 1994.
I guess the question I have is which types of finishes are these two bats? I'm not familiar with the lineup of LS finishes, and any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks!
