One half of the longest-running double play combination in baseball history, former Detroit Tigers second baseman Lou Whitaker was as productive on offense as he was at the keystone sack. As he clubbed 18 of his 244 lifetime home runs in 1990, Whitaker wielded this Rawlings-Adirondack “326B” block-letter model bat. The (33-oz/34-3/4”) white ash weapon features a black “Smith” finish and exhibits evidence of outstanding game use with ball and deeply embedded stitch marks throughout, as well as transposed stampings from OAL Brown baseballs. A lengthy handle crack is partially obscured by a 7-3/4” layer of soiled athletic tape. The model number, year and batch code are stamped onto the knob.
