Price Realized: $264.38

One of Cleveland's all-time favorites and Hall of Famer, Earl Averill, will most likely be remembered for delivering the line-drive that indirectly ended Dizzy Dean's career despite being a six-time All Star with a lifetime batting average of .318. He was issued this H&B model "A1" with his facsimile signature on the barrel during the 1950's to be used while he was coaching or in an old timers game. Never used, it exists today in NRMT condition and would be the perfect substitute for someone looking to add an Averill gamer to their collection without spending upwards of $5000.
