Store Model bats were made for the popular stars of the day. Every kid wanted one with the signature of their favorite player’s name looking up at them when they went to bat.
In almost every case, Mears is saying that the “records shows” that the 40K bats were made for the biggest players of the day with very few exceptions. If I was a regular player back in the teens and 20’s and I saw Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson and on and on STAR players using Cork Gripped bats, what do you think I would want to use. Professional ballplayers are only bigger versions of kids. As such, there would be loads of 40K bats with both professional and minor league players’ names on them, not just the small group of stars. But if my business was to sell bats? Well then whose name would I put on them? Not Smith and Jones That’s just how thing work.
