Black Betsy
Black Betsy was the primary baseball bat of Shoeless Joe Jackson. It was created in 1903 when Jackson was 15. It broke the record for the highest sold baseball bat in history, when it was sold for $577,610 in 2001. By then it was considered one of baseball's most fabled artifacts.〔 == Creation == It was created by a local fan of the South Carolina mill teams, Charlie Fergerson. He used the northern side of a hickory tree to make the bat. It ended up measuring 36 inches and weighting 48 ounces. Knowing that Jackson liked blacked bats, Fergerson darkened the bat with tobacco juice. He took the bat to the minor leagues, where the fans chanted "Give em Black Betsy" whenever he came to bat.〔Fleitz p. 15〕
