Thanks Mark for the helpful information! The guy was born in 1956 and thinks he was about 9-12 when he received this. His best friend was the Pirates bat boy. His favorite player was Willie Mays. He never asked for the bat, but once it was broken the batboy grabbed it for his friend. He kept it his whole life thinking that because it was broken, it had no value. So the mid to late 60s assessment makes sense. Thanks again Mark!

Hey Brendan - Sorry for my rash assessment as “no good”….the “Big Stick” threw me. As it turns out, Adirondack started using that in 1968. An M63 is exactly what you want to see on a Mays gamer. According to Vince Malta’s book, length should be 35”; weight should be 33-33.5 ounces.

I believe that's an early 70s bat, but it's a bit tough to tell for sure given the chipping/wear to the center label.
Edited: No, on third look it looks 68-70. I can see the tee-pee at the top part of the center label.
