Bench 77 to 79 R43 Bats
Did Johnny Bench order R43 model bats between 77 to 79? If so, what lenght, finish and weight?
Thanks
Scott

Re: Bench 77 to 79 R43 Bats
A review of Bench's order records from 3/12/1977 to 9/26/1979 documents only a single order of six R43C (cupped) bats dated 7/9/1979. Specs are as follows: R43C / 34.5 inches / 32 ounces / FB finish / 6 bats. Note that although model R43 is Bench's Pro Stock model, his professional use of that model was EXTREMELY rare after 1967.
