Superb provenance trail from the hands of Rachel Robinsonwhere it was in her and Jackie's home in Stamford, Connecticut sincethe days when Jackie retired. It was consigned to Lelands by RachelRobinson herself, in the late 1980s. It was then sold privately toMr. X and has been in his hands all these years. The bat is a Hillerich & Bradsby R115 Signature Model. It is 35" inlength and weighs 35.1 ounces. It is uncracked with moderate use. Asmall chip on knob has been repaired. There are ball marks on theright, left and back barrel. There is beautifully crude number "42"on the knob in vintage black paint over the R115 model number stampedinto the knob. Overall the bat shows excellent player usecharacteristics.The labeling dates it from 1955-56 the year of his World Championship. It is likely Jackie brought it home after an "exceptional" momentsuch as winning a World Championship! We can recall Rachel Robinson only ever having two game used JackieRobinson bats other than World Series and All Star bats, whichtraditionally were not used. That makes this one of only two puregamers with direct ties to Jackie's own collection. Thereby, makingthis one of the finest Jackie bats extant.
