Presented here is a sturdy and bold Louisville Slugger bat, a George Vico model, inked by circa-1948-49 Detroit Tigers of the American League.
George "Sam" Vico was a Tigers player and had his teammates, plus manager Red Rolfe and team coaches sign the bat at the time.
Hall of Fame signatues include Hal Newhouser, George Kell, and Ted Lyons (a Tigers coach at the time). Other key players that have signed include Vic Wertz, Hoot Evers and Virgil Trucks.
The signatures rate 2-8/10 and the lower rated autographs are simply due to fading. A Beckett LOA accompanies this bat.
