Nice foursome of commemorative bats from the personal collection of the late Don Drysdale. First, we have his 1966 Los Angeles Dodgers National League Champion black presentation bat made by Hillerich & Bradsby. It has the printed name or facsimile signatures of all players and coaches stamped on the barrel in gold. It presents NM-MT and even comes with the original packing box H&B used to ship it to Don in 1989.
Next, we have an August 3, 1997 National Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Class brown presentation bat made by Louisville Slugger. The names of the four 1997 inductees (Phil Niekro, Tommy Lasorda, Nelson Fox, and Willie J. Wells) are stamped in gold on the barrel surrounded by dozens of other already inducted Hall of Famers. It presents Mint and even includes the original packing box the Hall of Fame Museum used to ship it to Ann Myers Drysdale.
Third up is Big Don's August 12, 1977 Dodgers-Yankees 31st Old Timers Day commemorative bat made by Adirondack with Don Drysdale's facsimile signature stamped on the barrel. Finally, we have Drysdale's July 11, 1978 All-Star Game (San Diego) commemorative bat made by Adirondack. Both of these bats presents in Mint condition.
LOA from Drysdale family.
