I've always been a huge Braves fan since the early 70's. I remember going to games with my grandparents as a young child. Two weeks ago while I was visiting her, she brought down a 30" Atlanta Braves promotional wooden bat that she said was given to me while attending the game. It is an Adirondack bat, has PB under it and is engraved at the end of the barrel, 1973 Atlanta Braves and has Burger King above it. I have been doing some research, but can't seem to come up with the date of this promotion? If anyone can provide any information, I would greatly appreciate it. I can upload a picture if that would be helpful.

Thanks Jeff, I just added that link to my favorites.

I was hoping to find out the promotion date in 1973 that the bat was given out. I my grandmother can't quite remember what date we went down to Atlanta and I'm not much help with that as I was 4 at the time.

Frank,
I did some searching on the web and couldn't find a date. Probably the best way to nail it down is to either find a 1973 Braves schedule or Yearbook and look for the list of Stadium promotions.

That would work I think.
