The greatest leadoff hitter of all time, Rickey Henderson, used this bat in his final Major League season. By that time in his career, pretty much anything Rickey did on the bases was a new record, and when he hung up his spikes for good, he was career leader in runs, steals and caught stealing. Rickey’s final season X-Bat Model 27 model bat shows heavy use and is un-cracked. The barrel is littered with ball marks that include stitch impressions and leather ball scuffs. There are many cleat imprints and abrasions from contact with other equipment. The handle has been taped and a cushion added to enhance comfort and grip. The Hall of Famer has signed the barrel in silver marker, adding his number “24.” This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B18194) for the game use and has been graded a solid GU 8.5 and a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A25431) for the signature.
