Description
1965-68 Mickey Mantle Game Used Bat. Though the World Championship glory days of the New York Yankees were behind the Commerce Comet when he strode to the plate with this bat on his shoulder, his legendary numbers continued to grow, further establishing his baseball immortality with every swing. The spectacular use illustrated by a barrel coated with dark ball marks and deeply imbedded stitch patterns speaks to the titanic power of this Yankees superhero, even near the end of his Hall of Fame career. The signature model Hillerich & Bradsby K55 is on record as having been ordered by the team for the Mick's use, rather than by Mantle himself, though this was certainly not uncommon for Mantle gamers from this era. This historic hardwood measures just short of thirty-four inches in length, and tips the scales at thirty-four and a half ounces. It's always a thrill to hold genuine Mantle lumber in one's hands, and this representation is truly a top notch specimen, garnering the full three points for heavy use on the authentication grading scale for a final score of MEARS A8.More information about Mickey Mantle Sports Player.
