New York Yankees centerfielder Bernie Williams used this bat during his first season as an All-Star, 1997. Williams hit .328 that summer, adding 21 homers, 100 RBI, and 15 stolen bases for the 96-66 Yankees. The 1997 Rawlings DW20 model bat shows moderate game use and is un-cracked. There are ball marks, blue ink transfers, white leather scuffs and checking or grain swelling from repeated ball contact on the back barrel. The knob has been stamped with the model number “DW20” and Bernie has signed the barrel in contrasting gold marker and inscribed “SDG”. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B19196) for the game use and has been graded a near-perfect GU 9.5, plus a LOA from JSA for the signature.
