Pete Rose hit .307 for the pennant-bound Reds and led the National League with 198 hits as well as most plate appearances and at-bats. In the playoffs, Rose hit .450 with four doubles in five games against Pittsburgh and then added a home run and six hits against Oakland in the World Series. The Hillerich & Bradsby S222 model bat is un-cracked and exhibits excellent use. Several ball marks with stitch impressions are seen on the barrel along with cleat imprints. The model number “S222” is stamped into the knob and Rose’s number “14” is hand written in green marker on the top barrel. The Hit King has completed this Big Red Machine gamer with a signature in blue marker on the front barrel. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B15854) for the game use and has been graded a solid GU 8. There is also an LOA from JSA for the signature.
