With the New York Yankees having endured their first losing campaign in 40 years the National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers focused elsewhere as October of '65 approached. While the Bronx Bombers had been the Dodgers' opponent in eight of the latter's nine World Series appearances (dating back to 1941) the '65 Junior Circuit titlists hailed from Minnesota where remnants of the original Washington Senators franchise advanced to the World Series. Holding the Twins to a paltry .195 team average the Dodgers prevailed in a 7-game Fall Classic.
Commemorating that 1965 championship season this beautiful blond Wally Moon H&B professional model bat measures 34-1/2" long and weighs in at 33-1/2 ounces. Bat shows evidence of light use. The apparent initials “JK” are written in black marker on the bottom of the knob which is stamped with the M159 model number. Twenty-eight members of the 1965 Dodgers team have signed the bat in period black marker including Koufax Drysdale Gilliam Torborg Moon Perranowski Wills Roseboro and Willie Davis. The evenly matched signatures average 8/10 giving the item superb overall display quality.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
