Lot #1412:

1990s Milwaukee Braves Signed Hank Aaron Model Bat w/ Aaron Warren Spahn Eddie Mathews Lou Burdette - JSA

Getting Hank Aaron to sign a bat became a dicey proposition in the 1990s. It took big bucks for Aaron to break down and sign a baseball bat. The theory was it took Hammerin' Hank took long to pen his identity to bats so he discontinued the practice for some time.

Maybe Aaron relented when presented this Henry Aaron model bat as he signed the stick in blue felt tip. Other Braves who signed include: Gene Conley, Bob Buhl, Warren Spahn, Felix Mantilla, Lou Burdette, Eddie Mathews and Andy Pafko.
