The ever reliable Hodge's fell on some hard times during the 1952 WS loss to the Yankees, he went a dreadful 0-for-21, and prayers were said for the beloved Dodger in churches all across Brooklyn. That fact explains the light use found on his Hillerich & Bradsby "H138". Stamped on the barrel, “World Series 1952-Gil Hodges-Brooklyn Dodgers.” Uncracked and in fine condition with no splintering or deadwood. Stamped, “H138” on the knob, 35 ounces.
