Now going on his 26th season, the "Man of Steal" has over 1,400 career stolen bases. Not particularly known for his power, Rickey would surprise fans, usually in the first inning, with a spectacular leadoff home run. This bat shows outstanding use with ball, hit, and transfer marks on most of the barrel. There is paint chipping on the barrel possibly caused from batting donut. A light coat of pine tar has been applied to the handle and the player number is written on the knob and barrel end in silver marker. The future HOFer signed the front barrel with inscription "HR #1 1999" in silver marker which rates a 9. Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby, Model Number: T141, Labeling Period: 2001-03, Length: 34 inches, Weight: 30-1/2 ounces, Wood: Ash, Finish: Black. The bat comes with two letters from PSA/DNA and an additional COA.
