Offered here is a Marucci AP5-LDM custom cut Albert Pujols personal game model bat used by "The Machine" himself during his debut season with the Los Angeles Angels in 2012. The bat exhibits great usage including several ball marks with stitch impressions visible on the barrel along with blue ink transfers. There are cleat marks that can be seen and green bat rack marks are visible on the handle. A moderate coat of pine tar is found on the handle as well, and the knob is stamped with the bat's date of manufacture "03/20/12", length "4", weight "1.8" and Pujols' number "5".. To further solidify it's origins, Pujols has nicely hand signed the bat in gold metallic paint marker. Game Used bat expert John Taube has given the bat the grade of GU 9 and provides a full Letter of Grading and Authenticity! An MLB hologram is also affixed to the bat.
