Dan BrettaThe DiMaggio bat has a lot going for it.
1. It can be only 1 of 22 bats made by H&B.
2. It shows game use and was repaired. I'm not sure it would have been worth Henrich's time to get repaired if it were not a "special" bat.
3. You have the word of Henrich that it was a streak bat.
4. Finding the bat in Henrich's mother's house makes the probability that he put it there before he got married believable. It also makes it more believable that this bat came from the 7-1-41 bat order since Henrich got married in July of 41 and moved out of his mother's house at that time.
In order for you to say it is not a streak bat you have to be prepared to call Tommy Henrich a liar. I am not prepared to do that.
