One year prior to their shocking, "Ya Gotta Believe" run to the World Series, the 1972 Mets underachieved with an 83-73 season, although their win total was actually one more than their second pennant-winning team. This 34.5" Hillerich & Bradsby, team-issued "Eddie Kranepool" bat includes the signatures of notables such as mid-season acquisition Willie Mays (twice-signed), Bud Harrelson, Rusty Staub, Tug McGraw, Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, manager Yogi Berra, and Kranepool, himself - the longest-tenured Met at the time. Some names are slightly faded or smudged but most are bold and clear.
