Although Willie McCovey played hurt throughout much of his 22-year career the Giants first baseman used a sweeping swing to belt 521 homers and collect more than 2200 hits. He led the National League in homers three times and in RBIs twice also pacing the circuit in slugging percentage for three consecutive years (1968-70). McCovey earned National League MVP honors in 1969 10 years after earning the National League Rookie of the Year Award in 1959. Willie McCoveys 1961-63 Hillerich Bradsby model K44 professional model bat is un-cracked and shows evidence of excellent use. Several ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible on all sides of the barrel. Cleat marks are visible on the left barrel. The model number (K44) is stamped into the knob and the weight (34) is written on the knob in pencil. The combination of excellent player usage traits strong manufacturers markings and superb overall presentation quality make this an ideal early-career McCovey gamer.
Includes a LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA (Graded GU8).
