Offered is a professional model Jimmie Zinn H&B Louisville Slugger game used bat which likely dates from his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1921-22) and Cleveland Indians (1929). Zinn also played for a number of minor league teams during the intervening seasons. Bat is sidewritten, though it is no longer legible.
This pre-model number bat features a 1921-31 era H&B center brand and a signature barrel stamping. Bat currently measures 35", weighs 36 ounces and shows heavy use with ball marks, stitch marks, shipping label remnants and an area of deadwood which has been repaired with almost 30 period nails.
MEARS grades this bat as authentic. (G0347)
