Lot # 2325: 1951 to 2009 Limited-Edition Hall of Fame Induction Brown Bat Collection (20)

In the early 1980s, the Baseball Hall of Fame began issuing brown bats in commemoration of each Hall of Fame induction year. The bats, produced by H&B, are similar in design to World Series black bats and bear the date of the induction, as well as the names of the inductees, stamped in gold along the barrel. These bats were available only through the Hall of Fame and were limited in number. Production numbers varied with each separate issue, but every bat was uniquely numbered. Offered here is a substantial collection of 20 different Hall of Fame induction bats. The year of each Hall of Fame induction bat in this collection, including the stamped limitation number (in parentheses), is as follows: 1951 (139/500), 1953 (139/500), 1954 (139/500), 1957 (139/500), 1986 (99/500), 1992 (536/1000), 1993 (648/1000), 1995 (774/1000), 1996 (726/1000), 1997 (673/1000), 1998 (139/1000), 1999 (139/1000), 2000 (139/1000), 2002 (139/1000), 2003 (139/1000), 2004 (139/1000), 2005 (130/1000), 2006 (139/1000), 2007 (139/2007), and 2009 (551/1000).
