Twelve time All-Star, 1959 American League MVP and 1997 Hall of Fame inductee, Nellie Fox had a great 19 year major league career which included six .300 seasons and four seasons in which he lead the league in hits. Nellie and Luis Aparicio led the 1959 "GO-GO Sox" to their first World Series since the Black Sox scandal of 1919. This Hillerich & Bradsby, model C12, measures 33.75" and weighs 32.5 ounces and shows evidence of tremendous game-use with a handle crack that has been repaired. There is slight grain separation on the rear of the barrel. Nellie’s #2 is on the knob in black marker.
