World's Largest to Scale bat

Posted By: Matt Hart

I bought this one a few months back, but it got lost in transit. Bat is about 10 foot tall and is probably from the 30's. Lelands auctioned it in the early 90's. It's next to a 36 inch bat.

Matt - very cool! I recall there was a woodcut someone has posted in the past here that showed an incredibly large presentation bat although I don't remember the specifics.

Found it:

Very cool piece. But I have to ask, how does a 10 foot tall bat get lost in transit? I'm guessing it didn't fall between the seats of the truck.

There's a full size replica of the harry wright bat at the reds HOF. That thing was so long I couldnt get it all in the picture.

First- this is not me. Its my semi-drunk buddy after a Jays home game last year. This bat is just down the stairs from the Hard Rock Cafe. Has the 1992 team names carved into it.
