Charlie Keller played in the Major League from 1939 through 1952, including a good portion - 10 seasons with the New York Yankees. He joined with Joe DiMaggio and Tommy Henrich to form one of the best-hitting outfields in baseball at the time. A five-time All-Star and four-time World Series Champion, Keller’s strength and ability to hit long fly balls and home runs earned him the nickname "King Kong.”
This Hillerich & Bradsby C67 model bat dates to 1949 when Keller was with the Yankees. This bat displays outstanding use and has a crack on the handle that has been repaired. There is slight checking or grain swelling from repeated ball contact on the barrel. There are several ball marks visible on the barrel as well. “C67”, the model number of this bat, has been stamped onto the knob. This bat comes with a full LOA from PSA/DNA (1B10819).
