Pete Rose (Inscribed '#4326') & Joe Morgan (Inscribed 'H.O.F. 1980') Signed Bat Pair – Big Red Machine Hall of Fame Collection (Greenshields Collection)

A desirable two-piece signed bat collection featuring Hall of Famers Pete Rose and Joe Morgan, cornerstone members of the legendary Cincinnati Reds “Big Red Machine” dynasty of the 1970s.

The lot includes a black Cooperstown Bat Company “Super Pro 80” model bat signed by Pete Rose, Major League Baseball’s all-time hits leader. The signature is executed in gold marker and prominently inscribed “#4256,” commemorating Rose’s historic career hit total and one of the most iconic statistical achievements in baseball history.

Also included is a Rawlings Adirondack bat signed by Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan, featuring a “H.O.F. 1980” inscription commemorating his Baseball Hall of Fame induction. Morgan was a two-time National League MVP and one of the defining players of the Reds’ championship era.

Together, the bats celebrate two of the most important figures from one of baseball’s greatest dynasties, offering strong collector appeal for Cincinnati Reds, Big Red Machine, and Hall of Fame memorabilia enthusiasts alike.

Authentication & Provenance
The Pete Rose bat is accompanied by a Tuff Stuff Inc. Certificate of Authenticity as well as a USA Sports Card Classic (1992) event-based Certificate of Authenticity.

While the Joe Morgan bat is not accompanied by third-party authentication, the signature and overall presentation are consistent with other known examples from the era.

Both pieces originate from the Greenshields Collection, a long-held private collection assembled over many years and featuring a broad selection of autographed sports memorabilia and professional model equipment.

Condition
Both bats present in very good overall display condition with bold signatures and light handling wear consistent with age and storage. Minor surface wear may be present throughout. Overall presentation remains strong (see photos).
