College Bats

College bats are professional model bats manufactured by Hillerich & Bradsby for use in collegiate baseball games.

Professional bats are made with special wood that is set aside and used only for pro bats. These bats were not available to the public therefore making each bat much rarer than store bought bats.

Near mint Grady baseball in near mint Wilson box. Nr/Mt $85

22. 1954 Guantanamo Bay Navy League Home Run Ball. Nice early 1950'sWilson baseball in it's original box stating this was the game winning home run ball hit by Arlo? Bareis on July 16th 1954. A Phil Bareis played in the minor leagues but I don't quite get a Phil out of the first name. Ball shows lots of use.

23. 1961 University of Nebraska vs University of Oklahoma NCAA Game Ball. MacGregor 97.

Pitcher Jan Wall who won both games had a couple of good years in the minor leagues. Ex/Mt+ $65

24. Mint Jack Fisher "Warm-Up" Baseball, Hollander JF-20. This is a mint heavy rubberized baseball made for warming up one's arm. Fisher played 4 seasons with the Mets, 4 seasons with the Orioles and one season each with the Giants, Reds and White Sox during the 1950's and 60's. During his 4 seasons with the Mets he averaged nearly 20 losses each season (24 losses in 1965). But even the year he lost 24 games he had fewer hits allowed than innings pitched and had an excellent strike out to walk ratio, giving further evidence to the old addage that you have to be a good pitcher to lose 20 games. This baseball is a unique item. Mint $30

28. 1964 Pony League All-Stars Baseball. Rawlings PLB Pony League baseball autographed by 22 members of the "1964 West Side Lions Pony League All-Stars".

Some of the signatures include Ted Wilson, Earl Wallace, Jack Bertram, Jimmy James, Mike Schraeder, Bryan Jones, Jim Taylor, Roger Williams, Paul Sherman, Richard Cather, Jimmy Torrez, Randy Ray, Mike Horn etc.. Any future pro's? Terrific condition and a nice piece of Americana. Ex/Mt+ $45
