The Yankees' third-string catcher during their early-1960s dynasty years, Johnny Blanchard was
a valuable pinch-hitter who still holds the World Series record with 8 pinch hits. This Hillerich and Bradsby bat has the labeling period from 1950-60. It is a 34 1/4", 31 ½ oz. M110 model bat that shows great game use with a handle crack that has been repaired with six nails. There is a six inch piece missing from the rearside of the barrel and there is an autograph on the barrel in blue Sharpie that rates a 7.
