A stunning display featuring Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Nap LaJoie, Tris Speaker, George Sisler and Eddie Collins grace this 100th anniversary Hillerich and Bradley Louisville Slugger sign. The sign is matted in a 24x30 display. The vibrant text reads: These members of Baseball's Hall of Fame Are Also Listed on Louisville Slugger's Honor Roll. It it hardly a coincidence that so many members of Baseball's Hall of Fame occupy a place of honor on the Louisville Slugger roster of famous users of Louisville Slugger Bats... All honor to those stalwart builders of the game who have gone before and honor, too, to those living members whose names share their glory. Ban Johnson, Walter P. Johnson, Willie Keeler, Connie Mack, John J. McGraw, Grover C. Alexander, Morgan G. Bulkeley, Alexander Cartwright, Henry Chadwick, Denton Cy" Young, Christy Mathewson and George Wright. The piece has weathered nearly 80 years and does have some wear throughout with some light creasing and staining but the color of the piece still shines. A must own for Louisville Slugger aficionados."
