1970's cleveland indians neat item from national

[jonincleve]

here is a 1976 rick manning bat, that was used by duane kuiper. i realize this is not a hank aaron/eddie mathews bat but we didn't have much as indians fans in the 70's. it is cool to have two fan favorites using the same bat.

i would like to say thank you chris for doing a quick number check for me on-line. i ran across the bat but knew manning wore 20 & 28. the bat had the number 18 on the ends which was kuiper. i just had to double check the math so to speak. so i went over to the guu booth and they kindly looked up the records for me.

i love this hobby

take care
