Picked this up tonight. Very nice 35" H&B No. 60 "Hank" Greenberg bat. It is marked U.S. above his name. Would this be considered a military issue bat? Or is it something else? Thanks.
Really don't much about the "wartime" bats. The one's I know about and have seen have been 125s. This is a "60." Still, I think it's a bat made for special services I would guess. Clean bat and nice pickup. Greenberg was one of first ML players to enlist in the service for WWII.
Saw a Babe Ruth" U.S." stamped military bat several years ago. Sort of surprised more of these don't show up more, but as Special Service issued probably not many G.I.'s would take on with them like they did the gloves.
