Default Jimmy O'Connell bat
Excited to get this Jimmy O'Connell Spalding Autograph model bat. I collect O'Connell items (best known for the 1924 O'Connell-Dolan scandal) due to his connection with Santa Clara University. I never knew that this bat existed until it showed up on ebay last month. Bushing's Spalding bat guide lists an Autograph model bat for "John O'Connell" being sold in 1924 (only one year), but, given the year it is clear that the bat sold by Spalding was for Jim, not John.
