Gilbert MainesPresented in this lot is a HM Taylor pictoral LOA applicable to the single wide banded Jennings game used offered in the following lot. As shown by his posture, Hughie clearly prefers the wide banded variety over the more common dual narrow banded models.
We have it on good authority that the smoothness, resiliency and fit; rather than the bandings are the reason for his preference. Notice how the length, characteristic knobbing and markings identically match the actual game used offered.
As indicated, this bat is identified as being used during the 1907 successful stretch run for the penbnant. Since this is an official game used bat, and since Mr. Jennings appeared in one game that season; this is the bat with which he delivered his key two bagger in that historic pennant drive (which the Tigers wound up winning by 1.5 games).
This LOA is manufactured in a post card format to facilitate shipping for evaluation independent of the actual bat. In our experience, this LOA is unique in approach, content and format.
