No one made a bigger splash upon their arrival in the game than Neon Deion Sanders. Tabbed as a future Hall of famer in both the NFL and Major League Baseball, Sanders was one of those rare two-sport stars. Coming up with the Yanks in 1990, Sanders had a hard time living up to his press, but the next year he helped get the Atlanta Braves to the post-season, which Sanders missed due to his NFL contract. He made it to the 1992 World Series where he hit an outstanding .533, all the while playing with a broken foot. By 1998, playing two pro sports year-round took its toll on Sanders and his numbers declined rapidly. Focusing on football, Sanders finished out his NFL career by being voted to the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Neon Deion’s all-black Louisville Slugger C243 model bat shows heavy game use, is un-cracked and dates to the 1991-1994 labeling period. Along with many ball marks and stitch imprints visible on the barrel there are white leather ball scuffs and blue ink transfers. The barrel also displays checking or grain swelling from repeated ball contact. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B15910) for the game use.
