George Foster was the starting left fielder for the Big Red Machine as Cincinnati won back-to-back championships in 1975 and 1976. The next season saw Foster win the NL's MVP Award, his 50 home runs making him only the 10th man in Major League history to reach that mark, and his 149 RBI led the National League. Foster missed the Triple Crown falling short in the batting column by a measly .018. This Louisville Slugger P72 model bat was used during the 1980-83 seasons between his time in Cincinnati and the New York Mets. The bat is un-cracked and shows excellent use. Several ball marks with stitch impressions are visible on the barrel along with cleat imprints. The Reds outfielder has signed the barrel in contrasting gold marker. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B17109) for the game use and has been graded a solid GU 8 and a COA from Steve Grad of Beckett for the signature.
