Lot Essay

Handsome Louisville Slugger 125 model bat with burnt umber colored finish measuring 35" long and weighing 38.3 oz. The bat shows fine use including ball marks, rack marks, pine tare residue, and a professionally repaired handle crack which had once been obscured by spiral tape. Bold Hillerch & Bradsby Co. centerbrand stamping with similarly impressive "Lefty Grove" facsimile signature stamp on barrel. Grove was the dominant pitcher of the 1920-30s era and one of the finest left handed hurlers in the history of the game. According to Grove's Hillerich & Bradsby Co. factory records there is a single bat order in 1931 for "Al Simmons model 6-11-30 Large Knob". The order is also notated "WS" abbreviated for World Series thus identifying the subject bat as one of two made for use in the 1931 World Series. Very scarce Hall of Fame member game bat numbering in the single digit total population. Includes LOA from PSA/DNA (GU 9): EX
