Offered here is a mini Louisville Slugger decal bat featuring Frank “Home Run” Baker. This mini bat has a decal that features Baker's full image with a chipped piece on his mouth. Below the image indicates this bat is a "World's Championship Model," while above Baker's image is the term "Good Night Baker" referring to his historic 1911 World Series performance. Please note there are several areas where the paint has chipped away. However, the bat has great eye appeal and retains much of its original surface gloss. Frank Baker's facsimile signature runs across the base of his portrait and is lightly affected by some chipping. The quality and design of the decal on the offered example highlights Baker's achievements, offering more information than any other decal bat made of that era. A truly wonderful example of the most distinctive mini bat of that era.
