Rosen led the American League in several offensive categories, including home runs (43), RBI (145), runs scored (115), slugging percentage (.613) and OPS (1.034). Rosen’s offensive outburst earned him the American League MVP.

A wonderful bat from the 1953 American League MVP and it comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (G55539) for the game use and has been graded a GU 5.
