Probably would have to put up some pictures, including the knob for anyone to give you a good opinion.

Sounds like a 1977-79 H&B index bat. There's been speculation that Rose had used the S2 later in his career since he ordered it early on, but during that era his H&B "go to" model was the R195.

Watch out for later era (like the 80's maybe?) Pete Rose S2 bats. I think he (or someone) ordered a bunch for shows and promotions.

Here is my Rose S2. It is from the late 70's, and doesn't match Rose's ordering records, but does match team ordering records.
That means that people would consider this an index bat, not a true Rose "gamer". However, I love index bats, and think they are a fantastic alternative to paying full price. |

Is there anywhere a collector can go to look up Pete Rose's bat model numbers?
I'm wondering about a "PR3" model bat from the 1960s. Steve

PR3 would be a store model. PR for Pete Rose and 3 is for 33 inches long

Try to find yourself a copy of the Vince Malta Louisville Slugger book. They’re out of print and hard to find, but you can come across them if you search diligently.
