“Le Grand Orange“ used this bat during the latter half of his years with the Astros and his first season in Montreal. Rusty Staub made the All-Star team each summer, as he became the expansion Expos’ first superstar. This Hillerich & Bradsby S256 model bat is un-cracked and shows outstanding use. Some checking from repeated ball contact is found on the back barrel and there are two small chips missing from the knob. Numerous ball marks are visible on all sides of the barrel and the model number “S256” is stamped into the knob and Staub’s number “10” is hand written in faded black marker. The bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B13516) for the game use and has been graded a solid GU 8.
