Re: Reggie Jackson bat help requested
Hi Mike,
Thanks, I love bats like that -- I'm assuming it's an R43 since that's what Berra and Ruth have in common. I don't know if there are records of Whitey Lockman using R43 bats.

Whitey used R43 early in his career, through 1948......34.5 inch and 35 inch.......... Great interesting bat....

Re: Reggie Jackson bat help requested
Une last thing Greg--
Babe Ruth's and Yogi Berra's Pro Stock bat models are , you guessed it, R43. As generally Pro Stock bats bear the names of popular players in an era and are models of bats popular with the general public, such as S2, M110, and R43, it would come as no surprise if Lockman's Pro Stock model was also R43, as it was the first model made for him and shipped April (?) 21, 1947 upon signing an endorsement contract with H & B.
