His competitiveness, passion, ego, and facility for remembering situations is hard to mistake. Shortly after his Major League Debut in 1925 with the New York Yankees, Durocher played shortstop for the 1927 St. Paul Saints during the Connery/Huggins ownership era before winning his first World Series ring the following season with the ’28 Yankees.

I realized through the years of collecting Millers/Saints bats, that finding a Durocher gamer would prove to be monumental task and more so wishful thinking. Well, I'm exceedingly happy to land one of his gamers from his player career for the good old collection. I put this gamer right up there with my Monte Irvin gamer as the one of the most scarce bats in my collection.
Beauty! I don't remember when (if) I've seen one. Congratulations.
