New York City was blessed with three Hall of Fame center fielders during the 1950s as Willie, Mickey and the Duke spurred heated debates throughout the Big Apple as to who was King of the City. The three greats all share a moment of glory on this impressive item - a limited edition Hillerich and Bradsby bat from the 1988 Cracker Jack Classic. Labeled number 68 of 200, the bat is in NRMT condition and features the autographs of the Yankees' Mickey Mantle, Giants' Willie Mays and Dodgers' Duke Snider. All are in 9/10 blue Sharpie. The trio inspired Terry Cashman's famous baseball tune "Talkin' Baseball (Willie, Mickey & the Duke)," which was released during the 1981 baseball strike.
