By 2015 David Ortiz had a firmly established reputation as the most dangerous DH in Red Sox history. Now in his 17th season in Boston, Big Papi was ticking off the home runs as he strived to reach the magical number of 500. On June 14, the Blue Jays came to Fenway with Ortiz sitting on 474 career shots. After drawing a walk in the first inning, Big Papi came to bat in the 5th with two runners on and one out. Facing Marco Estrada, Ortiz lined a shot to right-center which cleared the wall for home run number 475. This home run also tied him with Hall of Famer Stan Musial on the all-time home run list.

This is the bat Big Papi used to hit that homer, a Marucci DO-34 Custom Cut model bat that shows good game use with several ball marks visible on the barrel. The handle has been taped with bright green Lizard Skin to enhance the grip. Best of all, Ortiz has signed the barrel in silver pen and inscribed: “Game Used 6/14/15 HR 475 vs. Blue Jays off Estrada.” The bat comes with MLB Authenticated hologram (HZ825612) for the game use and signature.
