This is a Greg Luzinski game-used professional model baseball bat manufactured by the Hillerich & Bradsby Company. The bat has Luzinski's name stamped in script on the barrel as he had an endorsement contract with the company at the time of manufacture. This bat has what is commonly referred to as 1980-83 era labeling, a period when Luzinski played with the Phillies and the White Sox. The Model Number K55 is stamped into barrel of this bat. The bat has a flame treated finish. It measures 35 inches in length and currently weighs approximately 33 ounces. A review of Greg Luzinski's personal Hillerich & Bradsby factory shipping records during this period documents four orders of model K55 bats specifically matching the dimensions (35 inches / 33-35 ounces) and finish (FT) of this bat. Those orders were shipped to Luzinski on 3/25/80, 4/25/80, 6/11/80, and 6/26/80. These records specifically date this bat to 1980, Luzinski's final year with the Phillies.
The number 19 is evident on the knob of this bat, written in black marker. Luzinski wore uniform number 19 throughout his career with the Phillies (other than his rookie season) into his final season with them, 1980. This bat exhibits light game use characteristics, including hit marks, ball marks and rack marks. This bat is uncracked and has an outstanding display quality, with a deep, rich flame treated finish. This is an opportunity to obtain a great bat, documented in H & B shipping records, from the final Philadelphia season of Greg Luzinski.
