Joe Pepitone was a Brooklyn-born first baseman who came up in 1962 and rocked the Yankees staid tradition with his rebel nature, such as by bringing a hair dryer into the locker room. A
lefthanded hitter with a crisp swing, he played 13 big league seasons, eight with the Yankees, and hit 219 home runs. This Hillerich and Bradsby bat has the labeling period from 1961-64. It is a 34 3/4", 31 3/4 oz. F108 model bat that shows good game use with a handle crack that has been repaired with electrical tape. There is some deadwood on the rear side of the barrel.
