Fred,
Based on your post, it sounds like its a team ordered/index bat. Which is a bat ordered by the Team for other players to use (pitchers, minor leaguers, etc). Normally it would be a star player (Mantle) and a model number they normally ordered.
So yes the PSA description says that player X had ordered bats has short as 32.5.. But during the time when your bat is from, they never had orders of 33 inch bats. But the team records show them ordering bats in that range.
So based on that, the chances of the bat being used by the player who's on the barrel is very slim to probably none.
