They are regular black finish. Arod didn't start using Smith finish until later.

Can you tell from the orders if it is for the smith finish or not? I have a 34 inch smith finish Arod from 95-97 labeling. I think Tony's bat is not the smith finish variety if that could pinpoint the order.

Alright, like I said the information of when he hit it and the fact it's an autograph bat means it was either one of the 24 34/31 C271's sent to him in Spring Training or it's one of the 12 34/32 C271's sent to him in Spring Training of 1996.

If your looking for more information than that please tell me because I'm a little confused as to what your looking for.

All I need to know is:

Model number:

Color:

Length:

The date of the "event" in question would help too, that way I don't have to count bats made after the fact.

I can tell you if it's a black C271C it was 34in and 31 or 32oz. If it was a black C271 it was 34/31. He also used the I13 and M356 during 1996.

BMH,

Here is the info:

Model number: C271

Color: Black

Length: 34

Date: April 18, 1996 (hit his 1st Career Grand Slam)

Got your PM.

If it was hit in April then it could only have come from his ST orders of 24 34/31's or his order of 12 34/32's.

Kind of hard to say, you gave no specifics about the bat you are wanting specifics about

BMH - Thanks for responding. Can I email you pics of the bat?

I own Arod's 1st Career Grand Slam Bat, and want to document this bat as much as I can.

Is it difficult to obtain bat speciifics and ordering info from 1996, that would be specific enough to identify this bat?
