Description: Rick Ferrell autographed c.1937 professional model baseball bat - side written Tom Yawkey. Louisville Slugger 125 model baseball bat having deeply impressed "Rick Ferrell" signature in the barrel end measures 35" long and weighs 34.9 oz. Usage wear in the form of ball, cleat, and green rack marks are visible along with grain swelling due to repeated contact. A large "H" shaped handle crack extends to/through the centerbrand. The right barrel has been sanded/planed to receive factory applied side writing in grease pencil which reads, "35 oz Tom.Yawkey 5-40-40 Boston Am Lea." A long standing practice, the Company applied notations indicated an individual's desire to have Louisville Slugger replicate as closely as possible a particular bat for future use. Properly side written bats remains amongst the most sought after in the marketplace and seldom does an example surface with ties to a pair of Franchise related notables. Only the second Ferrell bat we have offered and likely the only bat with direct ties to Tom Yawkey, who is known to have suited up for batting practice, extant. Includes auction LOA from JSA (auto) and LOAs from PSA/DNA and Hunt Auctions (bat): EXEstimated Price Range: ($2,000-$4,000)
