Pete Rose bat on eBay

Re: Pete Rose bat on eBay

That makes sense but I guess my question is how it gets red bat rack marks on it when on the Game Used Only Pete Rose website it states the bat was made specially for the Hit King and "It was sent to him during the World Series". If neither team had red bat racks was it used during the World Series? Or before since Getty Images shows the similar bat in an early October photo. Or was it used in the 1977 preseason.

Riverfront Stadium 1976 World Series bat rack was green. Not saying Rose never used it, but was it used in the World Series in 1976? Hit marks from both leagues could be from 1977 spring training from interleague games.

Kinda looks familiar.......spring training with Foster, Rose, Kluzuski. Look at the knob from spring training.

Re: Pete Rose bat on eBay

My last post on this bat, last photo I showed might even be an aluminum bats so I might have put a wrong pic but it lets you get an idea why both league ball marks could come from spring training games in '77. Had fun doing research on this one though! Never collected Pete Rose bats but did have (7) J. Bench game used bats and a 1976 game worn road gray Bench Reds jersey at one time in my collection. Regret getting rid of that one.
