Rafael Palmeiro made his name as one of the game’s premier players using this bat. From his rookie year in 1986 through 1992, the period this bat dates to, Palmeiro hit .298, rapped out 968 hits, leading the AL with 191 in 1990. The two-tone Cooper S329 model bat shows good game use with a cracked handle. The barrel shows several ball marks and stitch impressions, and both ends have abrasions from contact with the ground. The knob has the bat’s specs stamped into it and the handle has a moderate coat of pine tar. Palmeiro has signed the barrel in contrasting silver marker, completing this very attractive gamer. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B18655) for the game use and a LOA from Beckett Authentication for the signature.
