Augie Galan
Need some help with this one. Augie Galan with a 1950s centerbrand but no markings above or below signature? Am I reading my book incorrectly?

Re: Augie Galan
Hey Bill - Mike Specht may have more informaton, but since Galan retired at the end of the 1949 season - it is quite possible the bat was made in to the 50's for ceremonial purposes ( Old Timer's Game, personal use, etc. ). It is not uncommon for post playing era bats to have subtle differences in how they are produced - Augie may have requested that a batch be made with just his signature. We don't have his records so unfortunately we can't look this up for you. Jim

Re: Augie Galan
Galan played with Oakland in the PCL in 1950 and '51, so this is probably a minor league bat.
