Three time National League MVP and eight time Home Run leader, Michael Jack Schmidt slugged 548 Home Runs during his 18 year Hall of Fame career. Only Babe Ruth, Harmon Killebrew, Jimmie Foxx and Mickey Mantle scaled the 500 Home run peak in fewer at bats. This rare (only 24 made) Hillerich & Bradsby model P89 Bicentennial bat measures 35.75" and weighs 34.4 ounces, is uncracked and shows evidence of light game use. Mike’s black Sharpie autograph, which includes his home run total "548" rates a near 10. His retired #20 is on the knob in black marker.
