    What year did Earl torgeson use D89 bat

    I was looking at a bat I can date by the label of a L.S. bat of Earl Torgeson from 1950-60 from Maltas book but was wondering if I can pinpoint it closer to a year than a 10 span. The model is D89. Thanks

    Re: What year did Earl torgeson use D89 bat

    After a review of Torgeson's personal H & B bat order records from 5-4-46 to 2-13-70, the first order of D89 is documented on 6-2-58. From that point model D89 became his model of choice, accounting for over 95 % of his orders between 6-2-58 to 2-13-70. If your center label is correct to the 1950 to 1960 time period, your bat can be narrowed down to 1958 (strong possibility), 1959 (very strong possibility), and 1960.

    Hope this helps a bit.
