Lot Essay

Louisville Slugger 125 model bat measures 35" long with a weight of 33.8 ounces. The bat exhibits heavy use most notably with ball marks and stitching impressions on the right, left and back barrell areas. Model number A92 stamped on knob end. Based on the Hillerich & Bradsby Co. professional model bat ordering records the bat can be identified as having been made between March 14-July 21, 1961. Based on the manufacturing date range for the bat it places its potential use during the absolute height of Roger Maris' historic pursuit of Babe Ruth's single season home run record, which he eventually would eclipse with number 61 on October 1, 1961. Incredibly desirable milestone season bat with distinct likelihood as having been used to belt home run(s) during the chase to Ruth's record. Includes LOA from PSA/DNA (GU 8): EX
