Mickey Mantle Store Model Bat MM Knob

No. If your bat has the initials MM followed by a number this would indicate the size of the bat. This is placed there on store model bats, to help the buyer identify the size of the bat.

Examples of this would be number like; 4, 04, 34, and in this case MM4 (for example). These markings will indicate a 34 inch bat. When letters proceed the number like MM4 it is indicating the player model initials followed by the size, MM4 Mickey Mantle 34 inch.

Mickey Mantle was known to use Models M110, K55, and P72. Louisville slugger began using model numbers on the knob in 1943 then moving the model number to the barrel in 1977. For example a K55 Mickey Mantle pro model would have K55 on the knob as opposed to the store model bat with K55 appearing on the barrel.
