Hello,

I'm looking for help in dating a recently acquired Ivan Rodriguez bat. It is a black, block letter full name 1991-97 Louisville Slugger P72. It is 34" long and weighs 31.9 oz on my scale.

My question is, does anyone know when this bat would have been ordered? Is it known when he signed his contract with LS to have a signature model bat making any bat before that date a block letter bat?

Any help in narrowing the year of production is greatly appreciated as this bat is a very early Pudge gamer with great use and is signed in silver. Gorgeous bat!

Responses can either be posted here or sent directly to my email at tim@hofbats.com.

Thanks in advance for any help that is provided.
