Outstanding 35 inch, 31 ounce, Hillerich & Bradsby Model Number S2 bat used by all-time hit king Pete Rose between the years 1965-1968. This bat dates from the most productive early years of Rose's career, a four-year period which would witness him hit over .300 every season, including a League high of .335 in 1968. That same period also marked three of his eventual ten 200 hit seasons, including League leading totals of 209 and 210 in 1965 and 1968, respectively. The top quality white ash bat is uncracked and displays light but definite game use evident.
