1950s Bobby Avila Cleveland Indians Game Used Bat
After toiling in the Mexican League for five years, second baseman Bobby Avila caught his big break when the Cleveland Indians recognized his league-best .346 batting average and took a chance, signing him to a minor-league contract. After an injury-plagued initial season in the minors, Avila made it to the majors in 1949 and earned a starting job a year later, batting close to .300 over the next six seasons, winning a batting title and earning All-Star honors. During that stretch, Avila used this Hillerich & Bradsby Model K75 bat, which shows light use and is uncracked. The bat measures 33.75" and weighs 33.875 ounces.
