1930s Nap Lajoie Cleveland Naps Career Stat Mini-Bat - American Folk Art

You know you have some clout when a baseball team renames itself in your honor. Napoleon Lajoie was baseball's first big superstar.

This mini-bat, registering in at 16", has an artistic twist. Lajoie's laundry list of diamond accomplishments are perfectly painted on this stick in two-color drop shadow formation. Of course this bat is filled with accomplishments as Nap was one of baseball's truest heroes. Crafted contemporay to Lajoie's life, this baseball bat is true American Folk art.
