Description: Rogers Hornsby professional model baseball bat c.1934-44. Louisville Slugger 125 model bat measures 34 3/4รถ long and weighs a hefty 35.6oz. The bat shows evidence of heavy use with numerous ball marks visible on the barrel area, cleat marks, checking to the back of the barrel, and a handle crack which has been repaired with nails. Regarded by many as the greatest right-handed hitter of all time, Rogers Hornsby took special care of his batting eyes, refusing to read newspapers or watch movies. He hit over .400 three times, won seven batting titles, and retired in 1937 with the second highest batting average in baseball history (.358). The identifiable player characteristics and great visual qualities make this a fine example of one of the more highly sought pre-war player bats.
