Question about Hank Aaron 1976 bat on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
It is possible that I just have not seen enough of these, but every bicentennial bat I have ever seen is lacking "powerized" and has the liberty bell instead. This Hank Aaron bat has both. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?Scott Harpt

Scott,
In 1976 the Powerized was removed and in its place the Liberty bell.
Not sure what to make of this. Perhaps a variation or misstamp?
I'm sure BMH can shed some light on this.metsbats86@aol.com

Re: Question about Hank Aaron 1976 bat on ebay
I remember seeing commerative 76 bats made for players retire players like Ruth and did a quick google and came up with this Baseball Digest from 1976
http://books.google.com/books?id=xDQ...%20bat&f=false
These commerative bats (Note Aaron is one of the players) seem to have the powerized on the barrel if my eyes do not deceive me.
What do you think?metsbats86@aol.com

I am currently the high bidder of the bat, wish I wasnt!!!! Dont bid its a fake, a bad bat!!!!!!
I have heard of this before, but this bat is, only one I have seen. Jeff scott has commented on the possibility of the powerized being applied, in late season of 1976

I think it was 35" inch long, but I'll re-email him and double check.

Hanks Order records point to a order of light flame 33.5 ounce 35" long, and a order of 32.5 ounce and 35 long, I think of natrual.

Re: Question about Hank Aaron 1976 bat on ebay
I have a black Bicentennial Bench with powerized and the bell on it. Is that a rare bat also ? I have never been able to find out anything about it.
