Lot 1254: 1973 Orlando Cepeda Signed Game Used Bat (35.5")
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
"The Baby Bull" near the end of the line of his HOF career in '73 when he coddled this Louisville Slugger for the Red Sox, and compiled his last sterling season, hitting .289 with 20 homers and 86 RBIs. A year later, he'd hang 'em up after 17 big league years, with a .297 career mark and 379 homers, most racked up for the Giants from '58-66. Cepeda's familiar #25 is in faded black marker on the knob over the C235" stamp. Moderate game use in the form of seam and ball marks on the barrel. Cepeda signed on the barrel in black marker, grading a 9/10. Beautiful uncracked bat. No bull.
