Newly elected Hall of Famer Jim Thome played for a handful of teams during his Hall of Fame career, but will be remembered for his Philadelphia Phillies seasons from 2003-05, especially his debut season with the club in 2003. During the 2003 season, Thome won his only home run title, banging out 47 round trippers, while knocking in 131 runs. Thome would go on to add 42 home runs in 2004 and only an injury-riddled 2005 prevented the big lefty from keeping up the pace he set in his first two seasons in Philadelphia. Here is your chance to grab a terrific and classic Jim Thome bat for a slugger elected in his first year of eligibility.

During the three seasons of 2003-2005, Thome used this Louisville Slugger M356 model bat. This all-black bat displays excellent game use and is un-cracked. There are several ball marks, ball stitch impressions and white ball transfer marks on the barrel. The handle has a light coating of pine tar and the lower handle and knob have been padded and taped to enhance the grip. This is a great game of a Hall of Famer from two of his most productive seasons. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (H53677) and has been graded a near-perfect GU 9.
