Ty Cobb’s Legendary Bat: A Piece of Baseball History
An Icon of the Diamond
Ty Cobb, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1936. His illustrious career is marked by achievements that have etched his name into the annals of sports history. Cobb was not only an American League MVP and a Triple Crown winner but also a member of the MLB All-Century Team. His remarkable career batting average of .367 remains an unbroken record, a testament to his unparalleled skill and dedication to the game.
The Bat: A Testament to Greatness
This extraordinary bat, manufactured by H&B, is a relic from Cobb’s playing days, dating back to the labeling period of 1919-1922. With a length of 35.75 inches and a weight of 33.1 ounces, this ash wood bat is a tangible connection to the era when Cobb dominated the baseball diamond. Although the model number is side-written and no longer visible, the bat’s provenance is undeniable.
Presented to us as game-used, this bat bears the marks of time, with a crack on the upper hand and barrel.
