Significant Jim Thorpe professional model baseball bat c.1917-20. L.Slugger 125 dash-dot-dash model bat measures 35 1/2" long and weighs 41.5oz with early H&B Louisville Slugger centerbrand and "Jim Thorpe" facs. signature stamping. Bat has excellent usage wear including 2 1/4" of period black handle tape, ball markings on barrel, and two small finish nails on the barrel at an small area of deadwood. Thorpe was signed by John McGraw of the New York Giants in 1913 shortly after Thorpe had dominated the 1912 Olympics but had to return his gold medals due to a semi-professional baseball contract that he had signed before the games. Thorpe was mainly a gate attraction during his six year Major League career but did manage to bat over .300 in the last two years of his career. The importance of Thorpe to American sports cannot be overstated especially noting his success even in the face of significant social hurdles of the era such as his American Indian heritage. The bat was obtained by the owner of several shoe stores in Ohio where Jim Thorpe and his football teammates with Carlisle would frequent. According to the family history Thorpe believed that "cobbler's" nails were the best for repairing baseball bats and that this very bat was in fact repaired in the Ohio shoe store. The offered bat is the only known example from Thorpe's short lived Major League career and is consistent with Hillerich & Bradsby factory records. Simply incredible piece with relation to the greatest pure athlete in sports history. Includes LOA from SCD Authentic D.Bushing/D.Knoll and a notarized letter of provenance from the family of the shoe store owner: EX |

Rare Babe Ruth and Charlie Root auto. baseball. Clean light cream color Worth "Official League" ball signed on the sweet spot by Babe Ruth and on the adjoining side panel by Charlie Root. Both signatures remain very bold with Ruth rating 8/9 out of 10 and the Root rating 10 out of 10. Panel above the Ruth signature has a small area where faint vestiges of ink are present which may possibly have been a notation or name. October 1, 1932 remains today one of the more storied dates in baseball history. On that date the New York Yankees were playing the Chicago Cubs in Game #3 of the 1932 World Series in Chicago. The Yankees had already won the first two games of the Series and were tied 4-4 with the Cubs going into the fifth inning. Babe Ruth came to bat that inning and according to period news and film accounts was enduring an enormous amount of heckling from the Wrigley faithful. It was at this point that Ruth gestured towards the outfield bleachers and then promptly crushed the next pitch from Cubs pitcher Charlie Root into the center field bleachers. Based on interviews and numerous writings Root had always denied that Ruth had "called" his home run. The offered ball is to our knowledge the first example documented to exist with the signatures of both men. The ball was obtained by a boy in Billings, Montana during an appearance by Ruth in 1947. At that time Charlie Root lived in Billings and was in fact coaching the Billings Mustangs baseball team. Notable rarity in spectacular original condition grade. Includes letter of provenance from recipient, xerox copies of 1947 Billings newspaper w/Ruth trip article, and LOA from PSA/DNA J.Spence-S.Grad: NM |
