Walter Alston's illustrious managerial career was honored by his election into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown New York on July 31 1983. Many accolades and awards followed including this beautifully designed mounted 1983 Baseball Hall of Fame bat plaque that was awarded to Alston from the Louisville Slugger Company. The oversized award which measures 38" wide by 13" high includes a full-size 36-inch Louisville Slugger Hillerich & Bradsby Walter Alston professional model bat that's been etched with the words "MEMBER OF THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME" right on the barrel. In addition the plaque holds a metal image of the front of Cooperstown right next to a large silver "Louisville Slugger Award" emblem. The award is finished off by a silver nameplate near the barrel of the bat that reads: "WALTER ALSTON INDUCTED INTO HALL OF FAME July 31 1983 Cooperstown NY."
Includes LOA from the Alston Family.
