A display at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory showcases the bats of — from left to right — Ted Williams, Larry Doby, Stan Musial, Hank Greenberg, and Hank Gowdy. Actually, the Greenberg sample is not game-used. Rather, it is a model referenced by Hillerich & Bradsby to carve other bats to Greenberg’s specifications. This Model G62, like the sluggers that emanated from its design, is 35 inches long and weighs 34.5 ounces.
