You are purchasing a vintage game used bat of Stan Royer, former St. Louis Cardinal and Boston Red Sox. It is a Hillerich & Bradsby 125 Louisville Slugger Genuine Model C243. I purchased it at a show in St. Louis from a very reputable dealer. It is 34-1/2" in length, has his name "ROYER" on the barrel and tape wrapped on the end of the handle with remnants of a lot of pine tar on the handle. It is natural wood with no finish to it with a lot of markings and scuffs on the barrel end that shows great game use. All of the game use has caused some smearing to the print. The handle shows good wear where it has been gripped and used. There is the #5 on the barrel end which was his number with the Cardinals and a #22 on the knob end. Please view the photos to see the true condition of this Stan Royer game used bat. It would make a great addition to your collection. From a smoke-free home. Shipping is $20.00. Thanks for looking!!
