Description: Fine Eddie Collins professional model baseball bat c.1922-24 (PSA "GU 8"). Louisville Slugger 125 model bat with Collins facsimile signature in the barrel measures 34" long and weighs 33.3oz. Strong use is evident throughout with ball/contact marks to the hitting surface which has minor grain swelling. A handle crack has been expertly repaired. The bat has been dated by PSA based on notations within Collins' factory records and the style of centerbrand employed. Then in the heart of his Hall of Fame career, Collins spent the 1922-24 time period with Chicago. As a member of the White Sox he played in the 1919 World Series and consistently finished in the top (10) in various batting categories and stolen bases. In 1925 he would become just the 6th player in history to amass (3,000) hits. One of only a handful of Collins bats of this quality to have entered the marketplace and a world class example.
