Length: 34 - 3/4". Weight: 33.2 lbs. Model: 01. Era: 1950-1960. Center Brand: C-15A. Powerized: C-15A/P9 straight orientation. Ted Williams, arguably one of the great ball players of all time and a National war hero, played professional baseball for the Boston Red Sox from April 20th, 1939 to September 28th, 1960. Ted Williams first ordered this model in 1940, measuring 35" with weights from 32 to 36 ounces and using them through 1946. Another personal order was sent in 1955. During the 1950's Hillerich & Bradsby Company began ordering 35" and 36" Ted Williams Model 01 to be sent directly to the ball club. This eliminated the need for Ted Williams to place any personal orders for this model as they were already in stock and obviously used by him through that era. By supplying the team with the commonly ordered bats of the team's superstar, it required that Ted Williams only place personal orders for bats other than the 01 Model. This game-used Ted Williams bat exhibits light overall game use with a 4" closed handle crack. There is some green markings on knob. All factory stamps are perfect with beautiful finish. A great piece of lumber dating to the 1950-60 era of a national baseball icon.
