The offered black Louisville Slugger Alex Rodriguez signature model bat has the distinction of being used by Arod to smash his 630th career home on April 13, 2012. And home run #630 was no ordinary clout. It came on opening day at Yankee Stadium and the blast tied Rodriguez with Ken Griffey Jr. for fifth place on the all-time home-run list. The homer was part of a three-hit day for Rodriguez, who led the Yankees to a 5-0 win in their home opener over the Angels.
The C271L model bat shows light use, remaining uncracked. Arod has recorded his feat on the barrel in bold silver sharpie with an inscription that reads “Alex Rodriguez Game Used HR #630.” An important and fully documented home run bat from the man who was at one time poised to make a run at the all-time career HR record. Bat features a MLB Authentication hologram (#EK090028) on the barrel confirming its important date of use.
Includes a LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA (Graded GU10).
