As Yogi Berra's backup catcher, Ralph Houk only got into 50 games in seven seasons in the 1950s, but in 1961 he was named to replace Casey Stengel as Yankee manager and directed the club to two championships and three pennants in three years. This Hillerich and Bradsby bat has the labeling period from 1950-60. It is a 34 3/4", 34 oz. K55 model bat that is uncracked and mint. There is an autograph on the barrel in black Sharpie that rates an 8.
