Arguably the greatest hitting catcher to ever play the game, Mike Piazza used this Marucci bat during the 1996-97 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, hitting .349 with 76 homers and 229 RBI. This Mizuno World Win model bat is un-cracked and shows heavy use. Many ball marks with stitch impressions can be seen on the right and back barrel along with cleat imprints and blue bat rack paint streaks. The impression of a weighted batting donut is present and a moderate coat of pine tar is found mid-handle. Piazza’s initials “MP” are stamped into the knob and his number “31” is hand written on both ends in blue marker. The Hall of Famer has signed the barrel in black marker adding “G/U”. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B03036) for the game use and has been graded a perfect GU 10 and a COA from PSA/DNA (4A10525) for his signature.
