For over 20 years, Kirby Puckett wielded one of the most devastating bats in the American League. In 1991, one of the seasons this bat dates to, Puckett almost single-handedly won the World Championship for the Twins. A 10 time All-Star, 5-time Silver Slugger Award winner and 7-time runner-up for league MVP - all those numbers added up to a plaque in Cooperstown for Puckett in 2001. The Louisville Slugger C243 model bat shows outstanding use with a slight crack in the lower handle. Many ball marks with stitch impressions are visible, as are blue ink transfers and red and green bat rack paint streaks. A moderate coat of pine tar is on the handle, and Puckett's number "34" is handwritten on the knob end in black marker. The bat was obtained directly from the Minnesota Twins and comes complete with a Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA, who have graded this bat an almost unheard of GU 9.5!
