1958 World Champion New York Yankees Hillerich & Bradsby Commemorative Black Bat presented to New York Yankee pitcher Bob Turley, the 1958 American league Cy Young Award winner. Turley had a masterful 21-7 record with a 2.97 ERA in leading the Yankees to the American League pennant in 1958. In the World Series, after a rough Game 2 start that ended in a loss, he rebounded to win Game 5 by shutting out the Braves on 5 hits and pitched 6 2/3 innings of relief to win Game 7 and bring New York the World Championship. Bat features the names of all players and coaches on the team, facsimile signatures for those who use Louisville Slugger bats and printed names for those who do not. Bat itself in very nice condition with a little wear on the knob and a small hole drilled into top of knob which was used for mounting in Bob Turley's house.
LOA from the Turley family.
