San Francisco Giants Game-Ready Bats – Will Clark

Adirondack/Rawlings Baseball Bats: A Collector’s Dream

Introduction to the Collection

In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the imagination and reverence of collectors like game-ready bats. We are thrilled to present an exquisite collection of Adirondack/Rawlings bats, each a testament to the craftsmanship and history of America’s pastime. These bats, associated with the legendary players Clark and Williams, are not only pristine in condition but also steeped in the rich tradition of baseball.

Clark’s Adirondack/Rawlings Bats

The first bat, known as Clark #1, is a masterpiece of design and history. Manufactured by Adirondack/Rawlings, this bat is a model 460B, measuring 34.5 inches in length and weighing 31.7 ounces. Crafted from ash wood, it belongs to the 1992 labeling period and remains in uncracked condition. The barrel bears Clark’s signature, executed in black marker, which we rate a strong 7. The player name “CLARK” and the number “32” are inscribed on the knob, alongside the model number “460B” and the code “264 92” stamped into the wood.

Clark #2, another gem from the Adirondack/Rawlings collection, shares the same model number, 460B, and dimensions as its counterpart. However, it hails from the 1989 labeling period and weighs slightly more at 32.6 ounces. The knob features the player name “CLARK” and “32 ½” written in pen, with the model number “460B” and the code “054 89” stamped into the wood. Both bats are in uncracked condition, a rarity that enhances their allure.

Williams’ Adirondack/Rawlings Bat

The Williams bat, another Adirondack/Rawlings creation, is a model DD46, measuring 34.5 inches in length and weighing 31.6 ounces. Like the Clark bats, it is crafted from ash wood and belongs to the 1989 labeling period. The knob bears the weight “32” written in pen, with the model number “DD46” and the code “75 89” stamped into the wood. This bat, too, is in uncracked condition, preserving its pristine state.
