Hall of Famer Hack Wilson is probably best known for his incredible 191 RBI campaign in 1930. The Giants, Cubs, Dodgers and, very briefly, Phillies slugger also tallied a career high 56 homers that storied season. Prior to or during that unforgettable season, Wilson but this Hanna Batrite club to use.
Arguably the best looking centerbrand in the business, this "Bat Logo" was supplied by Hanna Batrite for the years 1923-30. Although a pre-model number, the style closely resembles Hack Wilson's H&B counterparts. Measuring 34" and weighing 34 ounces, the bat is consistent with known game used Wilson bats from the era. Bat exhibits moderate game use, with stitch marks scattered on the barrel. The handle remains uncracked. Cleat marks are visible. Examination of the wood reveals high grade professional ash. 34, denoting length, is factory stamped on the knob. This is an acceptable practice for Hanna Batrite professional model game bats. "WILSON" stamped on the knob denotes Hack Wilson, and this practice was reserved exclusively for professional model Hanna Batrite bats.
Final Grade MEARS A7: 5 points base grade, 2 points moderate use.
