Pablo Sandoval was one of the key contributors to the San Francisco Giants’ run to the 2014 World Series title. The Kung Fu Panda hit for a .400 average during the 2014 NLCS as the Giants defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in five games. Sandoval used this Tucci TL-KFP48-LDM model bat during the September 22^nd game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodgers’ Stadium. This bat was cracked on the handle during the top of the 10^th inning when Sandoval hit a foul ball off of Dodgers’ pitcher Brandon League.

This two-toned brown bat displays outstanding use and has the aforementioned crack in the handle. There are several ball marks and bat rack streaks present on the barrel. The knob has a orange and black colored “CONGO DE AFRICA” sticker affixed. The bat is 34 inches long and weighs 32.2 ounces.  The handle and lower barrel by the trademark have a moderate coating of pine tar and Sandoval signed his name in silver marker on the barrel and inscribed “Game Used 2014”. This bat comes with a full LOA from PSA/DNA (1B14652) for the game use and has been graded a near-perfect GU 9 and a MLB Authenticated hologram (HZ351158) that dates this bat to the top of the 10^th inning of the Giants/Dodgers game on October 22, 2014. There is also a COA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (C10001) for the signature and inscriptions.
