Can you tell me when Rose order S222 bats that are 35" and weigh 33 ounces during 1973 to 1975?

Thanks

During the 1973-75 H & B label period, Rose was shipped model S222 bats that were 35 inches in length and weighed 35 ounces frequently between 5/22/73 and 5/9/74. Prior to that, within the labeling period, , his orders were for 33 ounce bats, and in mid-1974 he switched to 33 ounces, then back again to 34 ounces.

35 inch S222 bats during the period can be found with both Natural (2/5/73 to 5/4/73 and early 1975) ) and Flame Treated (8/7/73 to 6/3/74) finishes, and frequently were ordered with wide grain and with the weights marked on the knob.

Be sure to use the search feature of GUU using the search words "Rose and S222" for many informative posts on this topic.

Good Luck
