Default The Joe DiMaggio "Streak" Bat

Posted By: Dan Bretta

Not to mention that Henrich himself states that he was not close to Joe. In fact in all the years they played together he never went out with DiMaggio once. I could not find any instance of Henrich stating that he was given a streak bat from DiMaggio. However there is evidence to show that Henrich would borrow bats from Joe and that he used the exact same model bat.

Perhaps the best person to ask would be Barry Halper who was very close to DiMaggio for a number of years. Caretaker is probably a better word than friend. I would imagine that at some point Halper asked Joe what he did with those bats.
