Ivan Rodriguez spent the 2008 season with the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees where he batted .276. Rodriguez was one of the best defensive catchers of all time, in a Major League Baseball career that began in the 1991 season with the Texas Rangers and ended in 2011 with the Washington Nationals. The 13-time Gold Glove catcher won the World Series with the Florida Marlins in 2003 and played in the 2006 World Series while with the Tigers. He is the major league career leader in putouts by catchers. This offered Louisville Slugger R226 model bat displays outstanding game use and is un-cracked. There are ball marks, blue ink transfers, white leather scuffs and checking or grain swelling from repeated ball contact present on the barrel. The upper handle has a coating of pine tar and Rodriguez’s number “7” is handwritten in black marker on the knob. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B25462) for the game use and has been given the highest possible grade of GU 10.
