The bat the Joe loaned Heinrich in June became a de facto streak bat when the bat he had chosen didn't produce--he asked Heinrich for the bat back (even though he KNEW it wasn't one he had worked on, and hadn't planned on using it to keep his streak going). He used it in two games, until someone returned a bat that was stolen earlier.

But according to the auction page, this bat was "one of 6" shipped to Joe on July 1, 1941, "specially marked." It was, the thing goes on, used for the remainder of his streak (the last of THREE), and for a short period thereafter, till it was retired due due a crack.

Incidentsally, a GREAT JOB on YOUR research...

"Broads." Yuk.

As for the bat in the auction being the one in the description of Joe's "streak" bats in the first post, it's no more black than cream-colored paper...


Besides which, the whole thing is amking me dizzy.
