c. 1926-34 Chuck Dressen Spalding Game Used Bat
This is one bat that fills two holes in my collection! Known more for his managerial achievements in professional baseball, Charlie Dressen’s overall record as a Major League manager with five teams was 1,008-973. He managed two pennant winners, played for a world champion with the 1933 Giants, and coached on World Series winners in 1947 with the Yankees and in 1959 with the Los Angeles Dodgers Dressen was the Saints’ starting third baseman from 1922 through 1924, batting over .300 all three years. His breakout season was 1923, when he led the club with 71 extra-base hits, including 50 doubles and 12 home runs. In 1924, the St. Paul Saints captured their only Little World Series title. I don’t have many bats from members of the 1924 team, but happy to add this one! Further, Dressen skipped over to St. Paul’s cross-town rival, the Minneapolis Millers later in his career during the 1931-32 seasons. Although brief, Dressen played in 4 games for the Minneapolis Millers in 1932, the year they advanced to the Junior World Series.

1961 Carl Yastrzemski Hillerich & Bradsby Game Used Rookie Bat
Although not a bat from his time in Minneapolis, I finally picked up a beautiful Yaz gamer that was used during is 1961 rookie campaign. This lumber can be traced through factory records that Hillerich & Bradsby shipped this bat in a batch of W215’s to Yastrzemski on July 18th, 1961.

1955 Minneapolis Millers Junior World Series Championship Team Collection - Game Used Bats
(Top to Bottom) Bill Rigney, Carl Sawatski, George Wilson, Ron Northey, Willie Kirkland, Bob Lennon, Joseph Bracchitta, Ed Bressoud, Foster Castleman, Bill Gardner. "The 1955 Minneapolis Millers achieved the ninth and final American Association regular season title for Minneapolis. In their final season at Nicollet Park, they finished on top with a record of 92–62, eight games over the Omaha Cardinals. The Millers exploded for 241 long balls in 1955—the highest total in Association history! In the playoffs, the Millers swept both Denver and Omaha in four games to win the Governor’s Cup, the top prize of the American Association champion. Minneapolis became the first American Association team to sweep both rounds of the playoffs since the inception of intra-league postseason play. Facing the Rochester Red Wings in the Junior World Series, the Millers overcame their .235 series batting average to capture the crown, four games to three. With 16 home runs during the seven-game series, Minneapolis achieved an all-time Junior World Series record."

1958 Minneapolis Millers Junior World Series Championship Team Collection - Game Used Bats
(Top to Bottom) Stu Locklin, Pumpsie Green, Red Robbins, Ed Sadowski, Jerry Zimmerman "In 1958 Minneapolis again made it to the Junior World Series. Finishing the regular season in third-place under Gene Mauch in his first year at the helm, the Millers defeated Wichita and Denver in the playoffs to earn the Governor’s Cup. To seal the deal, Mauch’s men swept Montreal, becoming only the second Association club to ever sweep a Junior World Series."

1955 Minneapolis Millers Junior World Series Program and Tickets from the last game played at Nicollet Park.
Excited to add these pieces of history to my collection! Program is scored and dated from September 28, 1955 - GM 7 in which the Minneapolis Millers defeated the Rochester Red Wings 9-4, clinching the Junior World Series Title. The corresponding Home Game 4 ticket stub adds to the nostalgia.
