Presented here is the Hall of Fame Induction bat commemorating the day July 25, 2010 Hall of Fame induction, complete with dozens of signatures from the greats of the game that fellow Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn cajoled into signing in blazing blue Sharpie. The induction came only three years after Gwynn's 2007 big day, when the .338 career lifetime hitter joined the ranks of the immortals himself, all eight National League batting titles and five Gold Gloves in tow.
This is an extraordinary signed item from greats of the game from many eras dating back to the 1930's. The 34 1/2-inch bat is a Louisville Slugger with HOF Induction stamping and the date on the barrel and the HOF logo affixed at the end of the barrel. The bat features more than 30 signatures, including Wade Boggs, Eddie Murray, Al Kaline, George Brett, Bob Gibson, Gaylord Perry, Lou Brock, Bill Mazeroski, Harmon Killebrew, Johnny Bench, Ralph Kiner, Bruce Sutter, Rickey Henderson, Gary Carter, Bob Feller, Earl Weaver, Tom Lasorda,Tony Perez, Robin Yount, Billy Williams, Jim Bunning, Joe Morgan, Ozzie Smith, Brooks Robinson, and others.
Includes Letter of Authenticity from the Gwynn Family.
