By 1997, Barry Bonds was firmly established as one of baseball’s exclusive 5-Tool Players. Now as he aged past the big 3-0 mark, Bonds began the second phase of his career when he concentrated on home run hitting. In the two seasons he was swinging this Louisville Slugger, Bonds added 77 home runs to his career total of 762. This Young Y20 model bat is un-cracked and displays excellent use. Several ball marks with black ink transfers are seen on the barrel and a moderate coat of pine tar is on the handle. Bonds’ initials “BB” and model number “Y20” are stamped into the knob and the weight “32” is hand-written in black marker. Bonds has signed the barrel in blue marker. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B10267) for the game use and has been graded a GU 8.5 and a LOA from PSA/DNA (AA07809) for the signature.
