Two time American League MVP, Juan Gonzalez led the American League in homers in 1992 and 1993. On pace to join the 500 Home Run Club, "Gonzo" is a bonafide candidate for the Hall of Fame. This Rawlings, model 225A from Juan’s MVP year, measures 35" and weighs 34.8 ounces. The bat shows evidence of tremendous game-use with a handle crack. The barrel is covered with ball marks and there is a moderate coat of pine tar on the handle. Juan’s #19 is on the knob in marker and his Sharpie autograph rates a nine.
