This Marucci model PS48CC-LDM bat was used in 2012 by the "Kung Fu Panda" Pablo Sandoval to help power the Giants to a World Series Championship. The 33-7/8 inch, 33.3 ounce bat shows evidence of excellent use including stitch impressions, cleat marks, ball marks and transfers throughout. A small crack is present at the lower handle and pine tar covers the lower handle and mid-section. Pablo’ s “#48” sticker cover the knob. Sandoval has signed the bat in blue and has added the inscription "#48 Kung Fu Panda Game Used 2012." Also present are signatures of 14 other members of the 2012 World Champion San Francisco Giants including Posey, Romo, Cain, Scutaro, etc. "Congo de Africa" is stickered across the center brand, which shows Sandoval's participation in promoting awareness of the many problems in the African Congo. The bats use has been authenticated by PSA/DNA and given a grade of GU 9.
