ADDENDUM: PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LOT HEADING HAS CHANGED AND DIFFERS FROM THE PRINTED CATALOG.
Few players in the history of baseball have matched the accomplishments and consistency of Stan "The Man" Musial. In 22 seasons Musial knocked in 1951 runs good for fourth on the All-time list behind Aaron Ruth and Gehrig. Even fewer so engendered the admiration and affection of fans not only at home but in every ballpark on the circuit. For his very nickname "Stan the Man" was bestowed by Brooklyn fans who feared "that man" upon his arrival to Ebbets Field. As for his 22-year tenure with the Redbirds there's no specific era during which he peaked. Rather he was spectacular throughout his Hall of Fame career.
This phenomenal game bat dates from the 1961-1963 period and was used by "Stan the Man" during the twilight of his career. The 34.5 inch Adirondack "57B" model is composed of top quality white ash and exhibits considerable use including ball marks cleat marks and rack marks throughout the barrel. A small handle crack is present. The model number "57B" has been stamped on the knob and Musials number 6 is written on the knob in black marker. Musial has signed the barrel boldly in black sharpie. Nice game bat used by Musial during the latter portion of his career.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
