A powerful righthanded slugger, Johnson holds the Major League record for pinch-hit home runs with 20. Traded to the Yankees on June 15, 1977, Heathcliff blasted three home runs against the Blue Jays 15 days later, including two in the 8th inning. Offered is a rare 1977 World Series game-used bat. This cracked Cliff Johnson game-used World Series bat shows evidence of excellent game use. The barrel has ball-hit and blue bat rack marks. There is a slight surface crack that is very hard to notice, but we have mentioned it for accuracy. All 1977 World Series bats were the same length, measuring 34 inches. There is an autograph on the front in black ink and grades a 7. Yankee World Series bats are extremely desirable and highly sought after. Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby, Model #: Pro Model, Labeling Period: 1977 WS, Length: 34 in, Weight: 33.5 oz, Wood: Ash, Finish: Standard. The bat and autograph each come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
