The assembled collection features four total items commemorating the St. Louis Cardinals' 1968 World Series appearance. The highlight piece is likely the 35-inch Louisville Slugger St. Louis Cardinals National League Champions 1968 full-sized bat. The bat bears the facsimiled signatures and script names for twenty-nine players, coaches and managers, highlighted by Schoendienst, Flood, Gibson, Brock, Maris and Cepeda. Displaying minimal wear the lovely black bat will make for an impressive display or conversation piece. Accompanying the bat is a 1968 St. Louis World Series photo-mug, 1968 Cardinals National League Champions pen holder (VG-EX, 6 inches in diameter) and 1969 Busch Memorial Stadium porcelain ashtray (VG-EX, 7 inches in diameter).
