Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez only played one season for the Florida Marlins, but he made sure it was a memorable one. The sturdy catcher, who suited up for the team only in 2003, led the Marlins to their second ever World Series title. Rodriguez hit .297, with 16 home runs and 85 RBI as the Marlins claimed the National League Wild Card spot. They tore through the playoffs, using the infamous Bartman incident and a NLCS MVP performance from Rodriguez to defeat the Cubs in a tense, seven game NLCS. It took the Fish only six games to win the Fall Classic, defeating the New York Yankees. The Louisville Slugger P72L model bat shows good game use. There are several ball marks visible on the barrel along with white leather ball scuffs and cleat imprints. A coat of pine tar is on the handle and both ends have Pudge’s number “7” handwritten in silver marker. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B17836) for the game use and has been graded a solid GU 8.
