Making headline news with a record $252 million dollar contract with the Texas Rangers, Alex Rodriguez has been instantly transformed from baseball star to superstar. One of the top talents in the game today, Rodriguez continues to show why he is the top paid player of all time. This bat was used by Alex during the 2001 All-Star game. The Rawlings bat, model 619B, with the factory stamp AS2001 (All-Star Game 2001) in the knob, measures 34.25" and weighs 31.6 ounces. "32 Rodriguez" has been written on the knob in pen. The bat has been autographed on the barrel in black magic marker with "Alex Rodriguez game used 2001", and the signature and inscription both rate a strong 9.
