JACKIE ROBINSON PROFESSIONAL MODEL BAT
An un-cracked, Hillerich & Bradsby, R115 Model Number bat dating from the 1955 labeling period with the signature Jackie Robinson emblazoned upon the barrel. Exhibits tremendous use with heavy ball marks, deep stitch impressions on the barrel, blue-green bat rack streaks from the Ebbets Field dugout and a light coat of of vintage pine tar on the handle. The barrel shows modification by Robinson in the form of a ¼” removed from the top (the purpose of which was to reduce the weight of the bat). Additionally, the bat is autographed Jackie Robinson on the left barrel in blue ink. Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson (1919-1972) played for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947-1956, coinciding with the labeling period of the offered bat. Presented to a collector from Robinson himself at Philadelphia’s Connie Mack stadium during the summer of ‘55, it is the only documented Jackie Robinson game used bat from the Brooklyn Dodgers World Championship 1955 season. Authenticated and graded by PSA/DNA GU 10.
