In his first full MLB season, the young Chipper Jones led all rookies in RBI and runs scored as the Braves bashed their way to the their first World Series since 1958 and the franchise’s first and to date only title in Atlanta. Atlanta's newest star just missed out on the National League Rookie of the Year honors, but swinging a bat like this, he forged the foundation of a career that would take him all the way to the Hall of Fame's doorstep.

     This Rawlings/Adirondack MS20 bat shows outstanding game use has a crack on the handle. There are many ball and stitch impressions with blue ink transfers that can be seen throughout. Cleat imprints and blue bat rack paint streaks cover the barrel as are black scuffs from contact with other bats. A light coat of pine tar is on the handle and model is stamped into the knob end and Jones’ number “10” is hand written in black ink on both ends of the bat. Jones has signed the barrel in strong black marker and added his number "10". This bat comes with a full LOA from PSA/DNA (1B14573) and has been graded a near-perfect GU 9.5. There is a COA from PSA/DNA (AD28250) for the signature.
