This bat is a blast from the past - a Ballantine blast. We have never seen one of this kind before, a super rare giveaway to Ballantine Beer distributors to celebrate their 10-year collaboration with the Yankees. The Spalding Mickey Mantle endorsed bat is even in the length The Mick preferred, 35 inches. It weighs just 29 ounces, the wording on the barrel is bright blue and crystal clear, stating, "Ballantine and the Yankees, Celebrating 10 Years of Sponsorship," with the years 1946 and 1956 on either side of Ballantine's interlocking circles logo. Just a beautiful, clean specimen.
