I noticed small numbers stamped into the barrels of some recently acquired Old Hickory bats, right beneath the model number. At first, I assumed they were manufacturing dates, because they started with 10, 11 or 12, and I have reason to believe that these bats were all made and used duing the past couple of years.
Then I realized that there was one too many digits in the numbers. They are: 1101226, 1201261, and 1001022. Without the last digit, I'd think for sure that those numbers equated to MDs of 1/22/11, 1/26/12, and 1/2/10; with the last digit, I can't figure it out. Are these manufacturing dates, and how would you read them?
