Description
1988 Tony Gwynn Silver Bat Award. The first of two spectacular silver bats offered within this Signature Auction that were presented to the 2007 Hall of Fame inductee for leading the National League in batting average. Among the most prestigious of individual awards presented by Major League Baseball, this gleaming treasure comes to us directly from the Gwynn family with their letter of provenance. It must be stressed that this is not a Silver Slugger Award, presented to the top hitters at each position in much the same fashion as Gold Gloves. Only one of these awards is issued per League annually, and, in that regard, more closely equates to the prestige of a Cy Young Award or MVP. The simple design essentially matches that of Gwynn's game bats, with the Louisville Slugger trademark and facsimile signature on the barrel. Bold block letter engraved text on the lower barrel announces, "Batting Champion 1988, National League, B.A. .313." Length is thirty-four inches. Flawless condition. An elite piece of which only the finest private collections are worthy.Auction Info
