GOOSE GOSLIN PROFESSIONAL MODEL BAT
A Hillerich & Bradsby, Pre Model number bat dating from the 1923-1925 labeling period with the name GOSLIN emblazoned upon the barrel. Exhibits excellent use with a handle crack, ball marks, a light coat of pine tar on the handle and lather marks on the knob and the top of the barrel.

During the first half of the 20th Century, it was commonplace for players to send a preferred model bat back to the factory to request models of the same type. Once at the factory, it would be planed and inscribed with the length, weight, player’s name, date received and team affiliation. Hall of Famer Leon “Goose” Goslin (1900-1971) played for the Washington Senators from 1921-1930, coinciding with the specific inscription and labeling period of the offered bat.
