MILLER HUGGINS PROFESSIONAL MODEL BAT
An un-cracked, Hillerich & Bradsby, Pre Model number bat dating from the 1905-10 labeling period with the name HUGGINS emblazoned upon the barrel. Exhibits heavy use, ball marks on the left and back barrel, cleat marks on the right and back barrel, a gripping substance on the handle and HUGGINS stamped into the knob. The bat also shows evidence of having been factory side written though it is no longer legible. 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 Miller Huggins (1878-1929) played for the Cincinnati Reds from 1904-1909 and the St. Louis Cardinals from 1910-1916, during the labeling period of the offered bat. Authenticated and graded by PSA/DNA GU 10.
