Dual signed Pee Wee/Scooter commemorative bat
 

Posted By: <b>Bob S</b><p>Actually, I'm more interested in information than selling or trading this item, but after hours of googling over several years, I thought I give this subforum a try.<br /><br />It's a Loiusville Slugger 125 "Powerized", with the main inscription, a little morethan 3/4 of the way down the barrel being:<br /><br /> New York's Greatest Shortstops<br /> The "Captain" and the "Scooter"<br /> 40 of 50<br /><br />Farther down toward the barrel end is inscribed(in script)the following:<br /><br />"Pee Wee" Reese<br />1940-1958<br /><br />Phil Rizzuto<br />1941-1956<br /><br />It is signed in black sharpies folows:<br /><br />Pee Wee Reese, above the inscribed "New York's" , and<br /><br />Phil Rizzuto below the inscribed "40 of 50".<br /><br />It's obviously commemorative, or so was suggested to me by Bud Obermeyer, probably associated with a day when the guys were honored somewhere in NY, I suppose.<br /><br />It would be great if someone who sees this posts knows all the particulars surrounding this piece.<br /><br />I've been told that because "The Captain" was inscribed rather than the more usual "Pee Wee", this item might have considerable value.<br /><br />Any help would be much appreciated, and if I don't get any replies, I don't think Leon would mind if I posted this same post on the main board. But, I thought I'd try to follow the rules to start out.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Bob<br /><br /><br /><br />
