All-Star outfielder Jim Hickman toted this bat to the plate during one of the final seasons of his career.
This T115 signature model measures 34.5 inches and weighs 32.2 oz. It shows heavy game use with deeply embedded ball and lace marks especially concentrated on top of the barrel. The bat remains uncracked with cleat marks and red rack marks with perfect markings and a nice original finish. Hickman played for the Cubbies in 1973 and the Cardinals in 1974. The red rack marks would lead us to believe that this is a Cardinal bat but could have been used on the road while still playing for the Cubs and there is no uniform number on the knob.
