This is a hardball wooden bat that I ordered from Mizuno about 40 years ago. I think it's in good condition considering its age. The license from that time is also clearly stamped on it. This is one of two bats I purchased, and I've only used this one for practice swings and toss batting. It's for hardball, but I cannot guarantee its performance for hitting hardballs due to its age. Please consider this carefully before purchasing. I don't smoke. I don't have any pets.
