First baseman Mark Grace used this bat during his first season in Arizona. The former Cubs great hit 2 points shy of .300 for the Diamond Backs and clubbed 15 home runs. The Rawlings 256B model bat is un-cracked and shows outstanding use. Many ball marks with stitch impressions with red and blue ink transfers are found on the barrel. A heavy coat of pine tar is on the handle and the bat’s model “256B,” order “200” and year “01” are stamped into the knob. Grace’s number “17” in black and the weight “32” and “Grace” in blue are all written on the knob and the Diamond Backs star has signed the barrel in black marker. The bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B15367) for the game use and has been graded a perfect GU 10, plus a COA from Beckett Authentication for the signature.
