Pre-War Game Used Baseball Bat

Buying Baseball Bats

I’m always interested in buying baseball bats. Case in point, I was recently contacted by a collector looking to sell a 1930’s baseball bat endorsed (and possibly used) by Tony Lazzeri (HOF, and part of the famed, “Murderers Row,” batting lineup of the legendary 1927 N.Y. Yankees). Less than an hour after his phone call, we met and I purchased this fantastic piece from him on the spot!

Tony Lazzeri Signed Bat

For those of you unfamiliar with Tony Lazzeri, here’s a little more about his Hall of Fame career:

Anthony Michael “Tony” Lazzeri (December 6, 1903 – August 6, 1946) was an American professional baseball second baseman during the 1920s and 1930s, predominantly with the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball. He was part of the famed “Murderers’ Row” Yankee batting lineup of the late 1920s (most notably the legendary 1927 team), along with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Bob Meusel. He was also the first person to hit two grand slams in one game in 1936 vs Athletics.
…
Lazzeri had his career-high batting average of .354 in 1929. He hit two home runs for the Yankees in the 1932 World Series. In 1933, Lazzeri was named to appear in the first MLB All-Star Game, representing the AL against the National League (NL). He suffered a knee injury during the 1934 season.

Lazzeri set an AL single-game record on May 24, 1936, when he recorded eleven RBIs. That month, he also set records for most home runs in three consecutive games (6) and four consecutive games (7). He hit a grand slam during the 1936 World Series, only the second grand slam in World Series history. Lazzeri scored the deciding run in the 1937 World Series, as the Yankees defeated the New York Giants. Wikipedia
