Yeah, he could hit too. After shedding the padding of his early years, Torre wielded this Louisville Slugger "U1" for the Milwaukee Braves during a 1964 season in which he hit .321 and drove in 109 runs. A mini-crater above the carved "genuine" is among many game-used markings, including a fault line up the handle and the original tape that Torre used to keep his grip on this tapered club. Torre finished his playing career with a .297 average and 9 All Star game appearances. Which makes him one of the few outstanding players to ever become an outstanding manager.
