Does anyone know if Louisville Slugger issued Bicentennial bats to all the minor leagues in 1976? I recently picked up a bat of a player who never made it past single A ball. I was just wondering if minor league bicentennial bats are rarer then the Major League versions.

Re: Minor league Bicentennial Bat Question
I have a BiCentennial bat used by Rich Dauer @ Rochester in 1976, so I suspect that all bats manufactured/issued that season had the Liberty Bell logo.
As far as a bat issued to player to have only reached A Ball, the only value would be perhaps to him and/or his family (regardless of whether every bat issued had the logo or not).Comment

Yes, H&B did manufacture bats with the bicentennial label for minor leaguers, I have seen a number of examples of this.
