Nick Swisher celebrated his first summer in Yankees pinstripes by belting 29 home runs and driving in 82 runs for the pennant-bound New Yorkers. Swisher’s big bat and gregarious personality was just what the Yankees needed as the club cruised to their 27th World Championship. Used during that 2009 season, Swisher’s world championship season-used Louisville Slugger S318 model bat displays outstanding game use and is un-cracked. There are ball marks, blue ink transfers and cleat imprints present on the barrel. There is a heavy coating of pine tar on the lower barrel and the lower handle has been taped in a criss-cross pattern to enhance the grip. The bat’s manufacture date “7/27/2009”, along with the bat’s length/weight “34/31oz” has been stamped on the knob. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B19542) for the game use and has been given the highest grade of GU 10.
