Leppert spent decades in professional baseball as both a player and coach, including serving as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays coaching staff during the franchise's early expansion years. Fungo bats are specialized coaching bats used during fielding practice, making them important pieces of everyday clubhouse and on-field equipment.

This example represents an early Toronto Blue Jays-era professional equipment piece connected to the formative years of the franchise.

Condition
