Louisville Slugger 1947 Promotional Display Featuring Mickey Vernon.
Lot 336. Louisville Slugger 1947 Promotional Display Featuring Mickey Vernon. In 1946, the Washington first baseman collected 207 hits, including a league-leading 51 doubles, and he topped other A.L. batters with a .353 average. His success made him a natural to promote Hillerich & Bradsby bats. In this 15” x 20” display, Vernon is surrounded by cartoons providing information on his career and the 1946 season. Vernon hit .286 lifetime, rapped out 2,495 hits and drove in 1,311 runs. He missed two seasons while serving in the U.S. Navy in World War II. The border of the poster shows wear, especially in the upper left corner. The image area has a light-to-medium horizontal crease and several small, light stains. The easel on the back is intact and unused. The poster displays well and will make an excellent complement to a bat or Senators collection.
Winning Bid $152.
