Hi,
I would love some assistance if possible- to pinpoint the make of bat Bobby Thomson ordered in the 1951 season. I understand from the Baseball Hall of Fame website that Bobby's "Shot Heard Round the World" bat is on display and is a "Louisville Slugger"; however, I just purchased a original letter adressed to Bobby from the HOF (dated Dec 31, 1952) thanking him for his donation of his "Adirondack bat". The seller indicated that he was a long-time neighbor of Bobby's and that this letter was linked directly into the donation of the famous pennant-winning HR.
Not sure who has the info wrong, or perhaps the HOF would have asked Bobby for another bat 14 months after the event? I should have done my homework on this prior I guess!
Thanks!
