This offered Bernie Williams Rawlings/Adirondack 433B model bat dates to the first of the Yankees World Series Championships dynasty – circa 1996. Williams was one of the key components of that Yankees championship team that won its first title since 1978, batting .467 in the ALDS against Texas and then .474 in the ALCS against Baltimore, and then there was that clutch homer in the 11th inning that won Game 1 of the ALCS for New York. This bat displays outstanding game use and is un-cracked. There are numerous ball marks, blue ink transfers, white leather scuffs and checking or grain swelling from repeated ball contact present on the barrel. There is a light coating of pine tar that is visible on the white stripe just below the Rawlings trademark and the bat’s model number “433B” is stamped on the knob, along with the bat’s order number “101”. Please note that the year code is stamped on the knob, but only the “9” is visible. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B25042) for the game use and has been given the highest possible grade of GU 10.
