Lot #4:

1968 Hank Aaron Model Prop Bat used in the production of "Damn Yankees"

Damn Yankees is a 1955 musical comedy with a book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop, music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The story is a modern retelling of the Faust legend set during the 1950s in Washington, D.C., during a time when the New York Yankees dominated Major League Baseball. It is based on Wallop's 1954 novel The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant.

The show ran for 1,019 performances in its original Broadway production. Adler and Ross's success with it and The Pajama Game seemed to point to a bright future for them, but Ross suddenly died of chronic bronchiectasis at age 29, several months after Damn Yankees opened.

Bat measures 34" and weighs 30 oz.. Model Hank Aaron Leaguer. Used as a prop for the stage production. Written on the reverse, "from the cast of "Damn Yankees".
