Re: Rare Find ! ! !
It is a retail bat.
I have some old H&B youth retail bats somewhere, and above the player's name it says, "Leaguer." I have a couple Brooks Robinson bats very similar to this one, they're about 30" long or so, if I recall correctly.
If you look closely, you can see the letters form the word "Leaguer" above the block-lettered "Mickey Mantle."
My guess is that "Leaguer" was a type of kid's/youth retail bat.
Anyone else know much about these?
