"Never has a more imposing figure stepped to the plate", stated baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth, when Willie McCovey was inducted into Baseball’s Hall of Fame in 1986. His 520 homeruns are the most by a left-handed slugger in national league history. This Hillerich & Bradsby model M110 circa 1969-1972 is uncracked and shows evidence of heavy game use. The barrel is covered with ball marks, and a light coat of pine tar is on the handle. The bat measures 34.25" in length, weighs 30.2 ounces and has "Stretch’s" #44 on the knob in marker.
