Is Rafael headed to the Hall of Fame? One could make a strong argument on his behalf after seeing him put up another monster season in 2001. Palmeiro will soon be part of the elite 500 HR Club and this should make him a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame. This uncracked and autographed Rafael Palmeiro home run # 432 game-used bat shows evidence of tremendous game use. The grain width is narrow and the handle has a moderate coat of pine tar. The barrel displays ball, ball stitch, ball transfer, and black bat rack marks. The front barrel has been autographed "Rafael Palmeiro, HR 432" in silver pen and grades a 9. Manufacturer: Easton Sports Inc., Model Number: Pro Stix 271, Labeling Period: 2002, Length: 34 in, Weight: 31 oz, Wood: Ash, Finish: Black. Includes a letter from Palmeiro. The bat and autograph each comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
