1920's Ossie Bluege Hillerich & Bradsby Game Used Bat

Ossie Bluege played 44 games with the Minneapolis Millers in 1922 before being called up to the Majors with the Washington Senators, where he played his entire career from 1922 through 1939. He was a member of the Senators' 1924 World Series championship team, the franchise's only title before moving to Minnesota in 1961.

After retiring in 1939, Bluege managed in the minors for four years before taking over the Senators from 1943 to 1947. In 1948, Bluege was named the Senators' farm director, where his greatest scouting coup was a young Harmon Killebrew. In 1958 he became the team's comptroller, shortly before its relocation to Minneapolis as the Minnesota Twins. He remained the team's comptroller until his retirement in 1971, having served the organization for 50 years.

This is by far one of the most obscure bats in my collection today!
