Alex Rodriguez wrapped up his Seattle Mariners career in 1999 by hitting .285 with 42 home runs and 111 RBI, good enough for his third Silver Slugger Award. The 1999 Louisville Slugger C271 model bat shows outstanding use and is un-cracked. Numerous ball marks and stitch impressions are visible on all sides of the barrel along with blue ink transfers and white leather ball scuffs. Cleat marks are present, and a heavy coat of pine tar has been applied to the handle. A-Rod has completed this “been there” Louisville Slugger by signing the barrel in silver marker with “1999 Gamer.” This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B16651) for the game use and has been graded a near-perfect GU 9.5 and a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A23670) for the signature.
