When Robinson Cano came up to the New York Yankees in 2005, Joe Torre said “his build presence at the plate and smoothness in his swing” reminded him of the great Rod Carew. Cano let his bat speak for him, batting .297 with 14 HR and 62 RBI and just missing out on winning the Rookie of the Year Award. This offered SAM KB1 model bat is un-cracked and shows excellent use and was used by Cano in his 2005 rookie season. A spiral of tape has been removed from the handle and Cano has signed the barrel in black ink adding “Game Used 2005 Rookie”. This bat comes with an LOA from PSA/DNA (1B10357) for the game use and a LOA from PSA/DNA (AA07662) for the signature.
