I remember Bob Oliver from KC days. He used a dark brown bat. As a kid when I asked for a bigger bat, my dad got me a brown one. So I had to pretend I was Bob Oliver. Interestingly George Sprig is shown with a brown bat too. Makes me wonder if that is Oliver in the picture.

Except that Oliver is righthanded.

Maybe Spriggs borrowed Oliver's bat, hoping to get better results than he had with his own bats. LOL
