in the SABR national pastime #19(1999) "the last yankee" written by tom henrich in the section on the streak henrich says when dimaggio bat was stolen in between games of a double header(in wash.) during the streak "nobody knew it had happened until i stepped into the battrers box in the 2nd inning. dimag yelled at me, hey tom you have my bat. i asked for time and i walked toward joe to show him my bat.it was a dimaggio model,but it was my bat." he goes on to say he used a louisville slugger d29 model just like his(dimag). so i have to ask a simple question here if henrich used a dimag model does this mean it was engraved joe dimag or it was the same model engraved tom henrich???? i think if the latter were true i could see how a dimag bat could be found in henrichs attic.
