Alex Rodriguez used this bat to hit career home run #523 on May 20, 2008 against the Baltimore Orioles. Rodriguez took Orioles pitcher Daniel Cabrera deep in the 6th inning. Manufacturer: Louisville Slugger Model Number: C271L Labeling Period: 2008 Length: 34 inches Weight: 30.9 ounces Wood: Ash Finish: Black/Smith. The bat is uncracked and shows evidence of excellent game use with ball marks and bat rack marks throughout. Rodriguez signed the barrel of the bat in silver marker with the added inscription “Game Used 5/20/08 Career Home Run # 523 Vs. Cabrera” and in our opinion the signature rates a strong 8. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA and a PSA/DNA LOA grading the bat a GU 9.5.
