David Ortiz Gu Bat Knob Question
This is for the bat experts out there...
In 2008, when ortiz was still uising the 2 tone Rawlings, there seems to be 2 different numbering codes on bats.
The one I have is M456B.
I have also seen the same bat with M456A
Whats the difference?
Thanks!

I read somewhere its length. I think B's are 34". Never had an A. I'll see if I can find where I read it tonight.

Re: David Ortiz Gu Bat Knob Question
Haha, funny story about those damn letters. When I first started digitizing all our models into our new CNC and our sales guys started bringing in models from other companies I was always angry about the Rawlings bats. I would get a 456B then a 456S. I was soo pissed I had to make a new model. One of the EM's and I were talking and he told me the letters stood for the length...I felt pretty stupid.
I even told the story to Bill when he came down to visit our factory. He laughed pretty hard. Bill Steele is a good guy and a great bat maker.Brian Hillerich
