Don't know about Kansas City but when the A's were in Oakland they did have the green bats on "bat days". You got a random bat with the players Louisville Slugger autograph brand.
I vaugely remember that there were Finley bats, but being that 40 years have passed can't be 100% sure. Over time I've had ones of Campy, Bando, Jackson, Epstein, Rudi, Green, and Monday.
However all the bat day bats were 29"-32" Little League styles so the 35 incher in the auction listing may well have been a special bat made for Charlie O. I do have an original Louisville metal brand for Snoopy cartoonist Charles Schulz so perhaps LS did make special bats for other than players from time to time.
