With 56 steroid-free home runs and 147 RBIs, Ken Griffey, Jr. was the unanimous choice for the 1997 MVP Award. That season was the crowning moment of Junior’s career. No player since Mickey Mantle possessed the pure talent Griffey possessed, making his nickname of “The Natural” - well - natural.
The Louisville Slugger C271 model bat shows evidence of excellent use and is un-cracked. Many ball marks with stitch impressions are on the barrel along with white leather ball scuffs. The stamping is bright against the black finish. A perfect example of a bat used by Junior during the most perfect of seasons. This bat comes with a Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA (1B10327) who have graded this Griffey gamer a GU 9.
