This is a Commemorative 1947 Louisville Slugger New York Yankees Championship bat. This bat features facsimile signatures of the entire team in gold on a dark black ebony bat.   Produced in limited numbers, the World series "Black Bat" was given to participating players from teams in the world series, league officials, high-ranking executives and dignitaries. The bats feature facsimile signatures of the entire team in gold on a dark black ebony bat. Names in script for Hillerich & Bradsby endorsees and block letter for non endorsed players. Black bats for the winning teams read World Champions, and National or American League Champions for the losing team.

Condition: Very good to excellent - some minor dings and marks

This bat belonged to my father who recently passed at 91 years of age.  It has been in a closet for decades.  We do not have documentation, but based on our own internet research we believe it to be an original and not a reproduction.   

The 1947 Brooklyn Dodger commemorative bat as National League Champions is also listed as a separate listing.
