482. 1930 Joe<br />

Stripp Game-<br />

Used Bat<br />

With<br />

Durocher<br />

Sidewriting<br />

Notation -<br />

PSA/DNA GU-<br />

7.5<br />

Ever the competitor,<br />

Hall of Famer Leo<br />

Durocher sought<br />

every edge during<br />

his playing days. This 1930 game-used and side-written bat provides ample evidence<br />

of that. Graded GU 7.5 by PSA/DNA, this Hanna Batrite (33.3-oz/35-1/2”) Joe<br />

Stripp block-letter bat shows heavy use with ball and cleat marks, as well as a 3-1/2”<br />

piece missing from the knob. In vintage grease pencil, “34oz Leo Durocher 6-25-30<br />

Cin Nat” appears on the barrel, indicating a request for duplicate models. Not surprisingly,<br />

Stripp hit .306 in 1930 and this bat was obviously to Durocher’s liking. The ash<br />

lumber has a steel temper finish and decidedly pronounced center brand and barrel<br />

stamping identifiers. The rarity of Hanna Batrite gamers, coupled with the Durocher<br />

side written notation, make this a headliner to any serious bat collection. Full photo<br />

Opening Bid $250.00<br />

483. Jorge Posada 2004 Signed Game-Used Bat -<br />

PSA/DNA GU-7.5<br />

Louisville Slugger (32.9-oz/34-1/2”) “P320” signature model weapon as the 2004 club<br />

won its seventh straight A.L. East crown. The ash lumber features a black “Smith”<br />

finish and showcases Posada’s fiber tip autograph, which shows (“8”) strength near<br />

the barrel stampings. Graded GU 7.5 by PSA/DNA, the bat shows excellent use with<br />

a 9” handle crack and ball, cleat and stitch impressions on the barrel. Full photo LOA<br />
