Bill Buckner 1986 bat..

Did Buckner order K75 Solid Brown/hickory LS bats 34.5 inches long in 1986? Or during his Red Sox years? Thanks.

A review of Buckner's H & B ordering records documents Buckner's first order of K75 bats (34.5 inches / 32 oz / Hickory finish) dated 3/22/85. During that season through 8/22/85, Buckner ordered approximately 147 model K75 bats fitting that description.

Subsequently, in 1986, between 2/13/86 and 6/3/86, Buckner ordered approximately 102 model K75 bats fitting that description.

No additional K75 orders are documented in Buckner's H & B records outside of those two seasons.

Thank you. That makes sense too, because towards the end of the infamous 1986 season he was using a Cooper bat in the World Series!
