I'm looking for some history on a 1971 College World Series representative bat.

How many of these full sized bats were given out?

Would you consider this valuable?

There are 3 sets of stamps on the bat: (a couple of the words are hard to make out)

1. Hillerich & Bradsby logo

2. NCAA ____? Champion
Representative
1971 Col World Series

3. Miss State Univ
SEC Champions
5th Nation ____? 70 & 71

I don't know how to post a picture but I have some close ups

Also looking for a roster to the 1971 team but can't seem to locate that information

and then choose upload file, then select photos from your camera role, choose the right photo, and then click upload files. Make sure you have some text in the post as well, as I believe the board gets grouchy when you try to upload ONLY a photo.

Don’t have the official roster, but here are the names

I don’t have the numbers, but I have the stat sheet from that year, which will at least share some of the info.

We were the SEC champions. Correct me if you think I'm wrong, but I believe in those days your had to be conference champs in order to move on towards Omaha.

Wasn't there another thread on here in the past year about this exact same topic? I don't remember the outcome but seems they had a lot more info on that bat than you do that might help. Go back and do an "advanced search".

Hey there Yesterday, I have the bat that you are referencing, but like you I do not have much history on it.

Boom. That's it @STATEgrad04

Yours is in WAY better condition that the one I have.
Have you seen or heard about other bats around?
How many do you think we're made?
Where'd you get your bat?

 

[STATEgrad04]

I got mine at an estate sale in Yazoo City probably 6-7 years ago. I have seen one other in the Union on campus, upstairs in the Old Main room. This was several years ago that I saw it in there, so it may have been moved, but it was in a display case when you walk in the room on the left...
If I had to guess as to who they were given to, I would say coaches and staff of the team and possibly the Ad/Pres of univ. at the time. But that is a complete guess.

1. Hillerich & Bradsby logo

2. Champion
NCAA _District 3 Representative (This how it should read but probably not enough space on the bat)
1971 Colege World Series ( We were 3-1 in the regional against Miami, Maryland and Georgia Tech)
( We were 0-2 in the CWS with losses to Tulsa & BYU)
3. Miss State Univ
SEC Champions
Ranked 5th Nationally 66,70 & 71

I don't know how to post a picture but I have some close ups

Maybe this helps.
