After feasting on National League pitching for more than a decade, Albert Pujols switched leagues in 2012 and commenced doing the same in the American League. In that first season with the Angels Pujols hit 30 home runs, the 12th consecutive year of doing so.
This Marucci AP5-LDM Custom Cut bat was used by the Angels veteran during his first AL season. The bat is un-cracked and displays excellent use. Several ball marks with stitch impressions can be seen on the barrel along with white leather ball scuffs and blue ink transfers. Cleat marks and the impression of a weighted batting donut are also visible. The date of manufacture "03/20/12", length "4", weight "2.0" and Pujols' number "5" are stamped into the knob end. The future Hall of gamer has signed the barrel in gold pen adding "Game Used 12". This bat comes with a Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA (1B0454) who have graded this Pujols gamer a perfect GU10 and a MLB Authenticated hologram (EK323978).
