Mariners: Alex Rodriguez 1993-97 Game Used Louisville Slugger Bat (PSA/DNA)

This Signature Model Louisville Slugger C271 bat is a remarkable piece of baseball history, having been owned and used by Alex Rodriguez early in his career after his ascension to the Major Leagues at just eighteen years old. The bat measures 33.75 inches in length and weighs 29.5 ounces, consistent with A-Rod's specs during his rookie years. The bat shows outstanding use, with ball, stitch, and cleat marks visible, along with paint transfer and heavy pine tar, all indicative of significant game action. Despite the intense wear, the bat remains solid and uncracked, a testament to its durability and A-Rod's intense use during his early playing years. This heavily-used rookie-era bat is a prized piece from one of baseball's greatest players. It is accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA, ensuring its authenticity and top experts Taube and Malta characterize use as "outstanding" in their detailed letter of authenticity.

A must-have for any collector of rare and significant game-used equipment.
