Note that this bat says it was used for George Sisler's 257th hit of 1920--which set a record not broken until 2004 (by Ichiro). It says the hit was a homer:

...however, Sisler's last game of 1920 featured 3 hits--and none of them were homers: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.cgi?n1=sislege01&t=b&year=1920 . His last homer was 2 days previous to his last game of 1920 (he had hits in all of these last games).
When that part's wrong, I wonder if it really was his last hit of 1920 or not.
