One bat for an entire career?
The only way players in todays' game could do that is to use an aluminum bat. Geez, I hope that never happens!

I would believe that Sewell had a bat that he never cracked and that he used throughout his career, but I find it hard to believe that he never cracked a bat. Hillerich and Bradsby record that he orderded bats from them almost every year from 1920 through 1933. His pro-model (game used) bats are considered very rare.

I was (and still am) a huge Reds fan and Johnny Bench will always be my favorite player and I think the greatest catcher.
But a catcher that I think was overlooked during that era, probably because of Bench, was Ted Simmons. He was an excellent switch-hitter, a blue collar kind of guy with a long solid career--a guy I would love to have on my team. His fielding was no where near Bench, but I thnk was adequate.

Jack Clements...no hall of fame stats (heck, barely any stats) but handled the duties behind the plate for the Phillies, as a lefty!
Sherry Magee should be a HOFer in my opinion. But I am biased towards Phillies. He had 2100 hits, 1100 RBIs, and a career .291 avg. He was a great fielder and was certainly overshadowed during his career. Joshua

Waipahu's own Henry "Prince" Oana was my Dad's favorite ballplayer; his '32 Zeenut was one of the very first vintage baseball cards I ever acquired. His career spanned 23 seasons, mostly in the minors with a couple of brief stints in the Bigs. He is largely forgotten even in Hawaii.
