Hall of Fame or not, "Charlie Hustle" will forever be the All Time Hit King. Rose’s head-first slides and aggressive play epitomize the strength of the Big Red Machine during the 1970’s.This Mizuno, model ATHL (All Time Hit Leader) measuring 34" in length and weighing 32 ounces, is uncracked and shows evidence of moderate game use. Several ball marks are visible on the barrel and a section of paint has been removed from the "hitting zone" on the barrel of the bat. This is common as is the unique taped handle on Rose gamers from the final years of his career as he pursued Ty Cobb’s All-time hit record.
