The 5-time All-Star hit 36 home runs during the 2003 season, and this is the bat he used to hit the very first of the year. The Louisville Slugger G175 model bat shows outstanding use and is un-cracked. Many ball marks with stitch impressions can be seen as well as white leather ball scuffs and blue ink transfers. The impression of a weighted batting donut is visible. The upper handle has a coat of Mota Stick and the lower handle is taped in a spiral pattern to enhance the grip. Jones has signed the bat in silver pen and inscribed "HR 1 2003 APR 4 VS FL". A great home run gamer from one of the greatest sluggers in Braves history. Letter of Authenticity (1B08102) from PSA/DNA who have graded this bat a perfect GU 10.
