This Manny Ramirez Sam bat, model number "JB1," dates from 2000 and features both Ramirez's full name and the name of his team ("Cleveland Indians") printed in gold on the barrel. The bat displays heavy use along its entire length, including numerous ball marks, deeply embedded stitch marks, rack and cleat marks, pine tar, and a large nineteen-inch "H" crack in the handle that has been professionally repaired. Ramirez's uniform number ("24") is written in black marker on both the knob and cupped barrel end. Also written on the knob in black marker are the notations "Sam" and "34/32" (referencing the bat's length and original weight). The manufacturer's written production information appears on the cupped barrel end: "34' 32.5 oz., 6-11-00, JB1, MR." Graded MEARS A8.5
