This is a very large, very heavy war club manufactured when Hillerich & Bradsby was transitioning to the Louisville Slugger name and logo. What better player to represent change than Jackie Robinson. For a time this bat was offered at the factory /museum. The bat shows some use marks with some cracks being covered by tape and displays well. Larger bats are tough to find particularly in good condition. This one is 33-1/2 inches in overall length with "JR4" stamped on the knob. Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers who was the first black player in modern Major League Baseball. Jack Roosevelt Robinson (January 31, 1919 – October 24, 1972) was inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame with the class of 1962.
