No one had a better arm in the outfield than Edd Roush, but it was his bat that opponents feared even more. Roush led the NL in hitting in 1917 and 1919 and continued to be one of the best producers well into the 1920’s. This bat dates to the 1922-24 period when the Hall of Famer hit a combined .350 for the Reds. The Hillerich & Bradsby pre-model bat shows outstanding use with a handle crack. The shadow of two tape rings are found on the handle and a section of the barrel has been planed to receive factory side writing which is no longer visible. The bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B16620) for the game use.
