I just stumbled across these 2 commemorative bats. Does anyone have any more info about these? Were these a common thing to do in the 70s, and then gift them to people? (both are inscribed on the barrel with names that aren't players - one's a sports writer, the other a Japanese media exec I think).
One bat is for the 1972 All Star Game, the other a 1971 World Series night game. I only tracked down a few on ebay for super high prices, but none that had actually sold. Do people collect these? Are there other games with similar bats??
