Re: Bats that don't match factory records
Nate,
Don't feel bad... that bat dated to the 1964 season, a year after Musial retired. You can tell by the version of "Powerized," which debuted during the 1964 season. According to his records, Stan ordered 51 bats from 1964-66. All were 34.5". His three orders in 1964 (30 bats) were 31 ounces, identical to his gamers. So, while it was a perfect match to factory records, it would not be considered a true gamer since it was produced after Stan retired.
