Posted By: <b>Mark L</b><p>I have a Groh bat. It's not a Spalding but a H&B 125 with the correct measurements for a game bat. I first saw one about 30 years ago on my first trip to Cooperstown. My father spotted one in the museum and he became unusually excited about seeing it.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Looks kind of like a cricket bat....very neat....Were those things legal to use in a game or was it like a fungo bat and only for practice? I am naive....regards

Posted By: <b>Denny Walsh</b><p>From 1979 to 1982 I used the same style Bat...Playin' Unlimited Arc Softball on Long Island in New York. 32 inch, 34oz - Hard and strong to the gap in right center field. I had legs then and we didn't play with a fence <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> doubles, triples and even Homers were the objective... I truly miss bein' twenty-somethin' sometimes! Dankz for flashback..it was nice while it lasted, off to the rack....<br /><br />Life's Grand,<br />Denny Walsh
