In an era of big home run hitters, Braves third baseman Eddie Mathews was among the biggest. Ty Cobb called the Braves’ third baseman’s swing the sweetest he’d ever seen and when Sports Illustrated needed a star for their very first cover, it was Mathews they turned to. Starting in 1953, Mathews had nine seasons of 30 or more home runs, teaming up with Hank Aaron to form the most powerful one-two punch in the National League.

This offered Hillerich & Bradsby S2 model “Silver Sluggers” bat was issued to Eddie Mathews between 1950-1960 and was most likely used for exhibition or clinic use. This bat displays no game use and is un-cracked. The model number “S2” has been stamped on the knob. This bat comes with a LOA from MEARS.
