Made to the exact specifications as ordered and used by Lou Gehrig during the most famous of all baseball seasons, 1927. If not for the 35" stamped on the knob, this would be a dead ringer for its 100K big brother. In fact, this bat even has a lathe mark on the knob and signature model 125 game style bats are as rare as the actual gamers. We do know that players used the top of the line bats even with the inch marks as we have examples of block letter last name major league players that have had inch marks on knob. Given this bat is made to the same specs as a Gehrig gamer from this era, it makes this what has to be the best of the best for a retail model bat. Pick this one up for your Yankees collection and leave a lot left over in your bank account for more baseball memorabilia.
