A game used bat battle nameplate from one of the best hitters of ALL TIME. A true museum piece. And, to top it off, as a St. Louis Cardinals fan, he’s in the top 3: Hornsby, Musial, Pujols. Items like this aren’t just “cards”…these relics are one-of-a-kind pieces of sports history. So lucky to have it as part of my collection. Just check some of his stats:
Lifetime batting average: .358 — second only to Ty Cobb’s .366 in MLB history.
Hits: 2,930.
Home runs: 301.
Runs batted in (RBIs): 1,584.
On-base percentage (OBP): .434.
Slugging percentage (SLG): .577.
On-base plus slugging (OPS): ~1.010.
