Jim Longborg Red Sox Signed and Cased Bat (36 inches)

Description:

The bat is signed by Jim Lonborg, a critical piece of baseball history. Lonborg, the 1967 Cy Young Award winner, played an integral role in the Boston Red Sox's “Impossible Dream” season. His contributions to that unforgettable year cemented his place in Red Sox lore, which adds a substantial value to this bat, particularly for fans of the franchise. Signed items by Lonborg are valuable on their own, and their worth is further enhanced when tied to such a unique collectible.

This is one of only 1,000 limited-edition Fenway Park commemorative bats, making it a highly collectible item for baseball enthusiasts and memorabilia collectors. Limited-edition items naturally appreciate in value due to their scarcity, and this bat celebrates one of the most iconic ballparks in Major League Baseball history.

Bat is in mint, with the signature clean and unfaded. Including a certificate of authenticity (COA) for the signature and the bat’s limited-edition status would further enhance its appeal to collectors.
