"Shoeless" Joe Jackson made the Black Betsy famous, and this particular specimen was Wilson's version. Measuring 34.5" and featuring the Thos. E. Wilson center brand with model W525, this bat's barrel features the words "Major League." The bottom six inches of the handle are light brown, while the rest of the bat is dark brown, almost appearing black. It shows some use with slight grain separation on the back of the barrel.
