During his eleven seasons as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, Pujols won the National League Rookie of the Year award in 2001, was selected as an All-Star nine times, and won the National League Most Valuable Player Award three times. He has also twice won the National League Hank Aaron Award, and has two World Series rings from the Cardinals' 2006 and 2011 titles. Used by Pujols during his second World Championship season, this Marucci Albert Pujols professional model bat is uncracked and shows evidence of excellent use. The date of manufacture (5/19/11), Pujols' number (5) length (4) and weight (1.8) designations are stamped into the knob. An Albert Pujols signature, his number “5” and the added inscription 'Game Used' is on the front barrel in gold marker. The autograph has been authenticated by MLB Authentication Services and their hologram is affixed to the front barrel. An Albert Pujols hologram (01044) is also affixed to the front barrel.
Includes a LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA (Graded GU10).
