Couldn’t find 1976

Thanks Rob. I think the turf changed at Candlestick around 71/72? Don't know what made me think of that other than when I see those dates I can picture all those astroturf stadiums of the 1970's!

My Giants collecting buddy has a bunch...

The following all have a cursive signature and are center labeled "Made in USA":
Jesus Alou
Bobby Bonds (2 sizes of sig)
Orlando Cepeda
Dick Dietz
Tito Fuentes
Tom Haller
Ken Henderson
Dave Kingman
Harold Lanier*
Gary Maddox
Dave Marshall
Gary Matthews
Jack Hiatt

cursive, "Made in Canada":
Bob Burda
Dick Dietz
Ken Henderson
Ron Hunt
Don Mason

block letters, all are "Made in USA":
Jim Davenport
Bob Barton
Jim Davenport
Jim Ray Hart*
Willie Mays*
Willie McCovey

All say "Approved Little League ~ San Francisco Giants (usually block; sometimes cursive) ~ player name," although the order (top, middle, bottom) changes. * denotes players with "Approved Little League" seen in different orders.

Go get 'em!

P.S.he has some duplicates if you're interested...

Wow ... that's a lot of bats! Not interested in picking up anymore at the moment. Hoping this weekend to clean up what I have and start researching them a little. I was hoping to maybe figure out what game each bat was given away so I'd know what game I attended. Having the list of bat days is a start :-)
