Edgar Martinez will go down as one of the best designated hitters in the history of baseball. He has a career batting average over .315 and has drove in more than 100 runs six times, along with having seven 20-homer seasons. This cracked Edgar Martinez game-used bat shows evidence of tremendous game use. The barrel displays ball-hit, ball stitch, blue ball transfer, and cleat marks. There is a moderate coat of pine tar on the handle, which has been taped in a criss-cross pattern. There is a slight crack in the center brand and the front barrel has an autograph. The autograph grades an 8. Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby, Model #: C243, Labeling Period: 1991-97, Length: 34 in, Weight: 31 oz, Wood: Ash, Finish: Flame Burned. The bat and autograph each come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
