The 1961 season came just three years after the Dodgers' relocation from Brooklyn, a formative period for the franchise on the West Coast that preceded the dynastic pitching-driven championship runs later in the decade behind Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale, both likely represented among the bat's signatures. Hodges, a beloved former Dodgers first baseman turned coach by this point in his career, lends his personal model bat added significance as the game-issued canvas for this team signing, bridging the Brooklyn-era roster with the newly transplanted Los Angeles club. Team-signed bats from this specific era are considerably scarcer than signed baseballs, given the practical challenges of circulating a single bat through an entire roster, and the presence of every Hall of Famer on the team elevates this piece well beyond a standard team-signed item. The bat is backed by dual letters of authenticity from PSA\/DNA's Taube division and JSA, providing thorough, independently verified certification of the autographs. For Dodgers historians and vintage team-signed bat collectors, this piece offers exceptional early-Los Angeles-era provenance and a genuinely comprehensive roster of signatures. Signatures include: Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Duke Snider, Walter Alston, Leo Durocher, Tommy Lasorda, Gil Hodges, Don Farrell, Johnny Roseboro, Charlie Neal, Tommy Davis, Pete Reiser, Wally Moon, Maury Wills, Frank Howard and others. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cfont rwr=\"1\" style=\"\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont rwr=\"1\" style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont rwr=\"1\" style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont rwr=\"1\" style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003eBin #17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"6\" style=\"\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cfont style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\" style=\"\" size=\"4\"\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Showpieces Sports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45413579358323,"sku":"$2520-Dodgers Bat","price":7499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0046\/8028\/6323\/files\/57_1e038b20-fca0-4adc-9ca6-c68a81389ae9.jpg?v=1787865920","url":"https:\/\/showpiecessports.com\/products\/1961-los-angeles-dodgers-team-signed-gil-hodges-game-bat-sandy-koufax-psa-jsa","provider":"Showpieces Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
