Chris Chambliss will forever be remembered in Yankees lore for his game-winning, walk-off homer in Game 5 of the 1976 ALCS against the Royals that clinched the pennant for the Bombers and propelled them to the World Series. Featured here is the same model bat used during the '76 ALCS inscribed by Chambliss as one of his game bats from the series.
The Hillerich & Bradsby C284 professional model ash bat (35", 32 oz.) exhibits evidence of outstanding use with a handle crack. Some checking (grain swelling) from repeated ball contact is on the back barrel. Many ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible on the right, left and back barrel. Cleat marks can be seen on the right barrel and the handle. Chamlbiss' number (10) is
written on the knob in black marker. Chambliss' signature and inscription "Game Bat 1976 ALCS" is below the barrel stamp in bold black marker. Fantastic gamer from a memorable series from the guy who delivered one of baseball's greatest playoff moments.
Includes LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA graded GU 7.5. Autograph and inscription are pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
