Former Philadelphia Phillies standout Ryan Howard used this Marucci RH6-M model during the 2011 season where he hit 33 home runs and drove in 116, the sixth straight season he collected at least 30 home runs 100 RBI and the last time in his career he reached those marks. This bat has been photo matched to the April 27 and 29 games where he combined to hit three home runs, including a grand slam. This bat displays outstanding game use and is un-cracked. There are ball marks, blue ink transfers and white leather scuffs present on the barrel. There is also slight checking or grain swelling from repeated ball contact on the back barrel. Howard’s number “6” is stamped on the knob, along the bat’s manufacture date “1/20/11”. The knob ends and top barrel have heavy scuff marks and there is a mark on the handle that identifies the grain, which has been mandatory per Major League Baseball for all maple bats manufactured after 2009. Howard has signed his name in gold marker on the barrel and inscribed “2011 Game Used”. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B17191) for the game use and has been graded a perfect GU 10. There is also a LOA from Resolution Photomatching (426575), who have conclusively photo matched this bat to the April 27 and 29 games, plus a COA from JSA (WPP782206) for Howard’s signature.
