1987 Kirby Puckett R161c

I was wondering if someone can tell me how many of these bats Puckett ordered in 1987.

Thanks for your help,

Bryan

Hi Bryan-- Here are the totals for the R161C bats shipped to Puckett for his professional use during the 86-89 label period:

1986-- 0

1987-- 12 bats 34.5" / 32 oz Flame Tempered/Burned Finish

1988 -- 0

1989 -- 0

Note that all of Pucketts' factory records are now available in the Player Bat Charts section of the GUU Game Used Library section of this site, along with all of the H & B factory records of 144 other Hall of Fame players.

Good Luck in future collecting.

Thanks Mike,

I just saw the records. That is what sparked my question. I saw a yearly total but not a yearly total by model. By any chance do you happen to have the date the R161 was ordered?

Talk about a nice surprise seeing those records and finding out my bat is one of only 12 ever ordered by Kirby.

Thanks again,

Bryan

Here you go Bryan---

The bat was shipped on May 7, 1987

A rare Puckett model for sure.

Good Luck...
