Description: Superb Mike Schmidt autographed professional model baseball bat with attribution to 1980 World Championship season (Team Source Provenance). Louisville Slugger 125 model bat measures 35 1/4" long and weighs 33.3 ounces with bold manufacturer's stampings including "SCHMIDT" block letter name and K55 model number.

The knob end displays a vintage "20" uniform number in black ink with barrel end having cupped termination.
