When we were going in the late 60s-early 70s, they had different players.

Our first year going... 1968??, my brother got a Mantle bat and I got a Roy White..

My buddy’s Giants hoard has more bats than Bat Days...

:-) Just remembered a story my Dad used to tell about taking my Cub Scout Troop to a Giants bat day. My Dad was a pretty easy going guy but he said he couldn't relax to watch the game for one minute for fear that one of us scouts was going to clobber some fan in the head with one of our bats. I guess we were practicing our swings during the game :-)

I have an Al Kaline I thought I'd gotten at a Giants bat day, but not positive. It looks like my other bat day bats. Maybe I got it at an A's bat day. We saw a few A's games including at least one game in 1968. I still have the program .. with a photo of Reggie :-)
