Re: Louisville Slugger Specifics For 1996 Bats?
Not dumb, with today's players and the terminology used it's easy to get confused. Smith finish is what most players call "double dipped". Our Smith finish is a grain filling process. If you can see the grain clearly from the handle to the end of the barrel then it's not a Smith finish bat. If you can't see the grain in the barrel then it is a Smith finish bat.
Arod's first order for Smith finish was in December of 1996.Brian Hillerich

Re: Louisville Slugger Specifics For 1996 Bats?
BMH,
Thanks!!
I now have to get the bat weighed, so I can determine if this bat is
either:
* one of the 24 34/31 C271's sent to him in Spring Training, or
* one of the 12 34/32 C271's sent to him in Spring Training of 1996.
With this bat being Arod's 1st Career Grand Slam Bat, and him being only 3 Grand Slams away from breaking the all time Grand Slam Record, which is currently owned and held by Lou Gehrig since 1938, I want to document this bat as much as possible.
Again, many thanks for time and help.Regards, Tony
