It doesn’t really matter what color bat Albert Pujols uses, but this particular model carries special meaning for the three-time MVP and two-time World Series champion. Pujols, who is likely to enter the 500-career home run club in 2014, had this pink Marcucci “AP5-S Custom Cut” bat specially made for Mother’s Day as part of Major League Baseball’s cancer awareness movement. Pujols’ signature appears in bold, black Sharpie on the barrel of the bat next to an engraved ribbon. To the right of the signature is the wood-carved inscription “Handcrafted For Albert Pujols AP5-S Custom Cut.” A “Marcucci” manufacturer’s logo is affixed to the center of the signed bat, which is PSA/DNA certified with verification number P93771 (sticker only).
