The ultimate recognition of any baseball players career, only 268 of the 20,272 players that have stepped onto a major league field to take part in America’s pastime have ever been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Offered here, is this black Louisville Slugger bat modeled after the bat used by Mickey Mantle throughout his legendary career with Mantle’s signature and the Louisville Slugger branding stamped into the bat in silver. Measuring 34” in length, the bat has been signed by 20 of the best players to ever grace a Major League ball diamond including Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Willie Stargell, Steve Carlton, Fergie Jenkins, Bobby Doerr, Enos Slaughter, Johnny Mize, Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Gaylord Perry, Phil Niekro, Eddie Mathews, Warren Spahn, Jocko Conlan (Umpire), Duke Snider, Whitey Ford, Ray Dandridge and Billy Herman as well as Pete Rose and Billy Martin. All the signatures have been signed in silver ink with most remaining in excellent condition and legible while the signatures of Spahn and Martin show some lightness and fading. The bat also remains in good condition with a light ring of scuffing observed near the end of the barrel. A JSA sticker numbered “XX55304” is affixed to the knob and is accompanied by a matching LOA.
