Through their first seven seasons, the New York Mets endured what was far and away the most woeful stretch in baseball history. Their resumé reads as follows: five last-place finishes, two ninth-place finishes and five seasons of 100-plus losses. Then, overnight, the 1969 version logged 100 regular-season triumphs, proceeded to sweep the Atlanta Braves in the first-ever NLCS and disposed of the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles in relatively easy fashion in the World Series. Offered here for your bidding consideration is a uncommon team-signed baseball bat including Cal Koonce (d.1993). Notable Signatures in felt tip marker on a Gil Hodges professional model baseball bat include: Nolan Ryan, Jerry Koosman, Bud Harrelson, Cleon Jones, Tommie Agee, Jerry Grote and Ed Kranepool. Overall in fine condition. We guarantee this lot to pass PSA/DNA or JSA authentication, and full certification can be arranged for an additional fee (please contact us at Contactus@iconicauctions.com for further details).
