Vintage Hillerich & Bradsby Official Cork Ball Baseball Bat:
$125.00

This is for an original Hillerich & Bradsby OfficialCork Ball baseball bat which I would assume would be from the 1930’s or maybeearly 1940’s. The bat is a whopping 37 inches long with gorgeous patina and no heavilyworn areas. Cork ball was the fore runner to playing stickball in the streets.The barrel of the bat is much thinner than a baseball bat while the cork ballitself is smaller and weighs only 1.6 ounces, or 30% the mass of a regular baseball.Hits are determined by length as there is no running in cork ball. A singlewould be hit 150 feet, 200 feet for a double, up to 250 for a triple and beyond250 feet is a home run. As a reference, the original measurements down the leftfield line at Yankee Stadium was 280. If you had the money back in the day youcould own a “real” Hillerich & Bradsby cork ball bat and cork ball, or youcould live in other areas and be forced to use a broom stick and whatever youcould find as a ball (most of us used a 10 cent rubber ball). Bat is in gorgeouscondition and ready for a new home. Sorry I couldn’t take a picture of theentire bat in one frame, but the pics will show you its in incrediblecondition.
