Tino Martinez held down first base for the Bronx Bombers in 1999 and used this bat along the way to another Yankees World Championship. His 1999 Louisville Slugger B349 model bat shows tremendous game use with a cracked handle. The barrel displays many ball marks that include ink transfers, stitch impressions and leather ball scuffs along with cleat imprints and bat rack paint streaks. The handle has a moderate coat of pine tar and Martinez’s number “24” is handwritten on the knob in black marker. Martinez has signed the barrel in strong black marker and added his number “24.” This bat comes directly from the collection of Willie Randolph and a signed LOA from Willie Randolph will accompany this item. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B18058) for the game use and has been graded a near-perfect GU 9.5 and a COA from JSA for the signature.
