Modeled after the tool he used to get himself into the Hall of Fame, this silver bat was presented to Luke Appling upon being enshrined into the Hall of Fame on July 19, 1964. Affixed silver plate on the barrel displays the engraved sentiment, “Presented to Luke Appling as he enters the Hall of Fame in recognition of years of brilliant service to the Chicago White Sox and baseball in sincere tribute from Joyce Seven Up, July 19, 1964.” The number “3” stamped on knob. Shows tarnishing.
