Hall of Famer Frank Thomas was limited to only 20 games in 2001 after The Big Hurt had season-ending surgery for torn triceps, but managed to hit four home runs and 10 RBI in those games. This offered Rawlings 576B model bat displays excellent game use and is un-cracked. There are several ball marks, stitch impressions, blue ink transfers, white leather scuffs and cleat imprints present on the barrel, along with an impression of a weighted donut. The bat’s model number “576B”, order number “211” and year “01”. Thomas has signed this bat in silver marker on the barrel and inscribed “35” and “93 94 MVP”. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B25572) for the game use and has been given a very high grade of GU 9, plus a LOA from Beckett Authentication for the signature. Please note that this item was recently authenticated by Beckett Authentication. An LOA will be pictured in this lot when it is received in our office and will be shipped to the winner.
