This 35.5" Adirondack bat was used by Joe Garagiola during the 1953 season with the Pirates. The bat shows nice use with scattered stitch marks all over the back of the barrel and a handle crack that has been repaired with a single nail, with a small piece missing where it is repaired. The bat is a model 73X, which is stamped into the end of the knob and has Garagiola's jersey number that year with the Pirates "3" written in black marker.
