John Franco, the relief ace, holds the National League record with 1,119 games pitched and his 424 saves is the most by any left-hander in history. Franco used this bat during the 1991 to 1997 seasons with his hometown New York Mets. The Louisville Slugger M110 model bat shows good use. There are several prominent ball marks and leather scuffs with ink transfers on the barrel and cleat imprints throughout. The handle has a light coat of pine tar and Franco’s number “31” is handwritten on both ends. The Mets closer has signed the barrel in gold marker, completing this well-used gamer. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B14567) for the game use and a STICKER ONLY from Beckett Authentication (C11929) for the signature.
