This lot is closed. Bidding ended on 12/5/2007.
Manuf: H&B, Model: A99, Length: 35 in, Weight: 32.4 oz, Wood: Ash, Condition: Uncracked, ball/stitch marks on the left barrel, red back rack streaks on the barrel. The model number is stamped into the knob end and the knob has been covered in black marker. There is a light coat of pine tar on the handle. The presence of a "blacked out knob" generally indicates a batting practice bat or the player's number has been covered. Aaron's game bats from this labeling period in almost all cases have his number "44" on the knob. While the use of the bat by Aaron cannot be confirmed by the presence of the blacked out knob, it can also not be denied. There is always the possibility that the bat had been marked for Aaron for batting practice or it is a bat used by Aaron and then another player. Overall: EXCELLENT - PSA/DNA GRADED 6. Accompanied by a LOA from PSA/DNA.
