Baker, the powerful "dead ball" era slugger and third baseman in Connie Mack's "$100,000 Infield", is the inspiration behind this handsome 14" mini-bat (circa 1910). His likeness appears around the barrel on a colorful decal, which has reamined 85% intact, right below his nickname "Good Night", which refers to his 1911 World Series performance when he hit game-winning home runs on successive days against the Giants' future Hall of Fame pitchers Rube Marquard and Christy Mathewson. Manufactured by Louisville Slugger, Frank's weapon of choice. Overall EX-MT.
