At the height of his career, Don Mattingly was having bats disappear at a quick rate. His solution? He began marking the knobs with numbers like 3, 4, 15, 37...all retired Yankee uniform numbers.

Great Story...I am hearing more and more like this...There might be some confusion with collecters on some of these bats with different numbers that dont match up right

I still have a 1991 Yankees yearbook and on page 24, there is a great shot of Mattingly with a #7 on the knob of his bat.
