Frank Robinson's distinguished Hall of Fame career concluded in 1976 with the Indians, 20 years after he broke in with the Reds as the NL Rookie of the Year. Robby is the only player to win the MVP in both leagues (Reds 1961, Orioles 1966). He's also the last man to have won the National League Triple Crown, in 1966. With 586 lifetime home runs, he is fourth on the all-time list. This Hillerich and Bradsby Bicentennial bat was manufactured in 1976. This 34 3/4", 34 oz. R161 model bat shows nice game use with a handle crack that has been repaired. Robinson's number "20" is on the knob in black marker and there is an autograph on the barrel in black Sharpie that rates a near 10.
