1934-37 Rip Collins Game Used Bat. Ancient weap
<B>1934-37 Rip Collins Game Used Bat.</B></I> Ancient weapon waged Gashouse Gang warfare in the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals first baseman's skilled and powerful hands. Collins led the League in long balls the World Championship 1934 season with thirty-five, and topped 120 runs batted in both that season and the one to follow. This signature model Hillerich & Bradsby illustrates the manner of punishing use one would expect from the National League's premier slugger, with swollen grain on the hitting surface, several jagged spike marks and a vintage repaired cracked barrel. Lower handle is scored to Collins' preferred style. Length is thirty-five inches, with a weight of thirty-two ounces. A very tough and desirable offering from an essential figure in St. Louis baseball. <I>LOA from Taube & Malta.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Bats, Clubs, Sticks, Swords, Rif (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
