The Journey Bat - Full Size 33.5 inch - New York to Springfield 1943 to 2026

Eighty three years between two cities, burned into one full size bat.

The New York skyline on one end. The Springfield, Illinois skyline on the other. A baseball and the years 1943 to 2026 carrying the story between them, wrapped in hand tuned scrollwork across a full 33.5 inch barrel. The engraving cuts into the wood and stays there. It will not peel, fade, or rub off.

If you know why those years matter, this bat was made for you. If somebody you love knows, this is the gift they will not put down.

Every bat is engraved one at a time in my shop in Springfield, Illinois, and ships with a display stand printed right here in the same shop.
