1971 World Series Gamer
I have been looking for one of these 1971 Pirates World Series bats forever. Although I have seen a couple of Oriole examples, this is actually the very first one belonging to a Pirate that I have ever seen. It is a U-1 model, has bat rack marks, a clear tacky substance on the handle, and a few cleat indentations otherwise the use is very light as one would expect. Pagan's double won game 7 when he drove in Stargell. I have tried to photo match the bat with video from that moment but the video is so poor it is fruitless to try. Nonetheless I am thrilled add it to my 1971 Pirates collection.
