According to the LOA, "Clemente's number (21) is written on the knob in red marker with a line going through it," and "A notable player characteristic displayed on the subject bat is the deeply scored left barrel. Barrel scoring has been cataloged in our database on several high graded Clemente game bats. The scoring was executed in an effort to replicate the face of a golf club and add bottom spin and lift to the baseball. In addition to the barrel scoring, the style of the player number (21) is often seen on game used bats of Roberto Clemente. The style has been logged in our PSA/DNA database on several Clemente game bats." Further accompanied by two additional LOAs.
