"Slammin Sammy" has emerged as the most consistent home run hitter in baseball. Sosa is the first player in history to hit 50 or more home runs, four seasons in a row. His 1998 duel with Mark McGwire for the home run record will never be forgotten. This Rawlings Model 256B, from the 1993 season, measures 33.75" and weighs 32 ounces. The bat shows heavy game use with a handle crack. The barrel is covered with ball marks and there is a heavy coat of pine tar surrounding the Rawlings logo. Sammy’s #21 is on the knob and top of the barrel in marker.
