Mike McCormick helped the Reds win the 1940 World Series, and led the National League in sacrifice hits that season. Forty games into the 1942 season, McCormick was sidelined with a broken leg. He returned to the Reds for the 1943 season, but he was inducted into the military after only a few games. He missed the 1944 and 1945 seasons due to military service. He served in the Army Air Force and played on a military baseball team with Joe DiMaggio in Hawaii. Sourcing from his days in Cincinnati, this rare H&B H4 game used bat measures 35", weighs 34.5 ounces, is stamped "H4" on the knob and shows fine use with a cracked handle and an attractive spiral tape job. Has two small holes noticed presumably from previous display.
