So,
I added this one to my collection in about 1988-1989...My Dad actually bought it for me from a long time collector in worcester MA... If my Dad's memory services him correct, the person who sold it to him actually got it in the late 70's early 80's...The more I immerse myself into the wonderful world of autographs, the more I dislike it and doubt the authenticity... I simply can't bring myself to get it authenticated but would welcome any opinions that you all may have... bat is a Hillerich and Bradsby Bat with a MM1 stamp on the Knob... Should I put it back in the tube? or should I go hit rocks with it? Thanks, David |

Picture is kinda bad. but looks VERY shaky indeed. It is trying to be an earlier style Mantle, but looks like it fails to me

Hi Dave,
Looks like a rock hitter to me. But thats just my opinion! ![]()

Go ahead and spoil a good walk,, hit a golf ball with it
![]() Sorry Scott G. but IMHO Mark Twain was right about golf ![]() And gray ghost it does certainly look like someone tried to fake an early Mantle with that bat scribble.

I remember hitting gravel and golf balls with an aluminum bat in the back yard.
