I am sure that there are lots of these out there, but I can't seem to find one just like it and it makes me curious. As you can see, it is simply marked, burned in actually, within the oval : "Hillerich and Bradsby Co./BE/H&B/Louisville, KY" and at the top "Champion". No player name. No 'made in the USA', no 'Louisville Slugger. Nothing like all the others I have seen. It measures 31" tall and weighs 1 lb 10.4 oz/748 grams. Does anybody know what this was and what the "BE" stands for? Thanks....Mark G.
