I can’t comment on Parrish’s bat records, but I wanted to address something you mentioned in your initial post. I actually own a 1976 bicentennial Louisville Slugger from a relatively obscure minor-leaguer (Muth, pictured below). Not a high draft pick, and very average at the lower levels of the minors. Don’t believe he was ever on the 40-man roster. I purchased this bat from one of the forum members (Nate), so no reason to believe it isn’t legit. At least to some degree there were minor leaguers issued bientennial bats.

Take Care,
Todd
