From a not-too-distant era during which 500 career home runs was a remarkable achievement all but ensuring enshrinement in Cooperstown, this bat commemorates New York Yankees legend Mickey Mantle for his 536 career round-trippers. Turned by Hillerich & Bradsby in 1985, this uncracked “P72” (35”, 34.4-oz) signature model display keepsake features a prominent center brand and barrel stampings, between which, an engraved legend reads: “COMMEMORATING 536 LIFETIME HOME RUNS – LIMITED EDITION 1985 – 511 OF 536.” The souvenir presents nicely, with minor surface marks and small instances of finish loss, none of which affect the stampings.
