Major League Baseball Championship Black Bats
I recently picked up a 1948 Cleveland Indians Black Bat
And while trying to research it I couldn't find much history on any of them. Does anyone know of a site or a link to where all info is listed about these bats? They seem to come up often of all the different teams. Looks like they were issued to players and VIPs. Any help on this is appreciated. Not just on my Indians bat but in any of them in general. I couldn't find anything on he forums either but I might have missed it. Thanks Andy |

I would be interested in knowing more, as well. I have Giants from 1962 and 1989. I have always heard they were given to "players and VIPs" but have never heard any hard numbers.

I think they started in 1938 as brown bats and then in 39 or 1940 turned out the black bats that's what I know. I have a 1938 All Star National League brown bat and a 39 All Star National League Black Bat

.....and, given that I have seen nothing from LS commemorating the Giants' recent successes, I don't believe they are made anymore.

Not pretending to be an expert, but my impression has always been that they were given to players and other employees of the teams.
