Lot #17:

1930-37 circa Rogers Hornsby Burke Batrite Professional Model Bat (MEARS LOA)

Offered is a Burke Batrite bat dating to the close of Rogers Hornsby's career circa 1930-37. Bat currently measures 34", weighs 35.5 ounces and shows heavy use with deadwood on the reverse of the barrel and a handle crack running through the center brand which is held in place with a pair of period nails. Unlike H&B professional model bats, the markings on a Hanna Batrite can be ambiguous with respects of retail vs. professional model usage. This example, “George Driver, TA HORNSBY 10, Steel Temper, 4 (length)” is considered to be both a retail and professional model. Similar examples were found in surviving Batrite dealer catalogs.
