Joe Mauer used this bat to tally up the hits that made him 2006’s batting champion. The Rawlings 456MR model bat shows excellent use with a handle crack. Several ball marks are visible on the right, left and back barrel along with blue ink transfers and green bat rack paint streaks. A moderate coat of pine tar is found on both the upper and lower handle. The model number “456MR,” order number “040,” and year “06” are stamped into the knob along with the weight “32” and “Mauer” hand written in black pen. Mauer has signed the barrel in black marker. The bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B15913) for the game use and has been graded a solid GU 8.5, plus a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication for the signature.
