I have a bat that I suspect is game used and perhaps even “THE GAME” used. Unfortunately I’m at a dead end in terms of my research.
Came from the collection of a deceased Pirates collector and carried no provenance.
As the photos show it’s a broken bat (carefully
repaired) marked with info from Rennie Stennett’s 7 for 7 game. What I’ll call THE BAT from that game lives at the Hall of Fame, but it’s certainly plausible to me that more than one bat would have been used.
Either way a fun item as I have a special connection to the Rennie game. (My artwork honoring the game just went up at PNC last month.)
