Mr. Tiger Al Kaline used this bat during the 1971 season in which he hit .294 and added 15 homers to his eventual lifetime total of 399. The Hillerich & Bradsby M110L model bat shows outstanding use with a handle crack. Some checking from repeated ball contact can be found on the back barrel and there are numerous ball marks with stitch impressions on the right, left and back barrel. A light coat of pine tar is on the handle and the model number “M110L” has been stamped into the knob. Kaline has signed the barrel with the inscription “3,007 HOF 1980” in black marker. The bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B16627) for the game use and a LOA from JSA (Z32973) for the signature.
