That is exactly what I am struggling with. I cannot find the compelling reason. In particular:
1. No photo evidence I can find of Simmons using such a bat
2. From what research I could do, no records backing up Simmons ever ordered a 40k bat.
All that is out there is that the bat appears to be within specs of length and width (though I would feel more comfortable if it was 38") and that some professionals from the era did order 40k bats (however, not many did.)
I am not finding anything compelling which puts it squarely back into a leap of faith.
