Johnny Bench, the two-time National League MVP was wrapping up his Hall of Fame career when he was swinging this Louisville Slugger in 1982. The Reds hero had single-handedly changed the way the position of catcher was played, and his leadership, coupled with his timely hitting, led the Reds to back-to-back World Championships in 1975 and 1976. This S216 model bat is un-cracked and shows moderate use. A few ball marks with stitch impressions can be seen along with cleat imprints. The Hall of Famer has signed the dark Walker finish barrel in contrasting silver pen, making this a very attractive Bench gamer. This bat comes with a full LOA from PSA/DNA (1B10716) for the game use and LOA from PSA/DNA (AC04509) for the signature.
