Offered is a Hall of Fame induction baseball bat honoring the 1955 inductees to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, including Joe DiMaggio and Frank "Home Run" Baker. Similar in design and concept as the ultra-popular World Series black bats, this 34-inch bat has "NATIONAL BASEBALL HALL OF FAME JULY, 25, 1955 LIMITED EDITION 156 OF 500" in gold stampings on the barrel. Just to the left are the list of names inducted that year with Joe DiMaggio, "Gabby" Hartnett, Ted Lyons, Ray Schalk, Dazzy Vance and Frank Baker. All names are scripted signatures, except for DiMaggio which is block lettered. Grades NM-MT condition with a smooth surface and near perfect lettering. These bats are highly desirable, especially with a key Yankee Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio.
