Thought I would share a vintage game used bat with the fellow vintage guys out there. This is a 1925-28 Pat Duncan Louisville Slugger. Duncan played for the 1919-24 Cincinnati Reds. "In game four of the tainted 1919 World Series, "Black Soxs" conspirator Eddie Cicotte deliberately mishandled Duncan's grounder, beginning a game winning rally for the Reds." Bat shows tremendous use with multiple vintage nails in the back of the barrel.
Bat still has part of a mailing labelling label attached next to the Louisville Slugger Centerband. Best part of the bat, it is side written for Anthony Cuccinello 4-12-28.
Tony "Cooch" Cuccinello played for the 1930-31 Cincinnatti Reds, 1932-35 Brooklyn Dodgers, and 1936-40 Boston Bees, 1942 Boston Braves, and the 1943-45 Chicago White Sox. Cuccinello was an all-star in 1938 and 1945. Tony's brother Al Cuccinello played for the 1935 New York Giants. Tony's nephew is Sam Mele.
I have had this bat in my collection for several years now and it is still a favorite. I have had a great time researching the history and players involved. This is what the hobby is about. You can keep all your Manny and Ortiz bats, I love the challenge of a nice vintage bat.
