Offered here is a pair of game-issued professional model bats from two Yankee starters during the team's run of three World Series titles in four years at the end of the millennium. 2B Chuck Knoblauch and 3B Scott Brosius both joined the Yankees in 1998 and were key contributors for the Bronx Bombers as they won a franchise record 114 games during the regular season and eventually swept the San Diego Padres to become World Series Champions. Knoblauch batted .265 with 17 HR, 64 RBI, 117 runs and 31 steals for the year, while Brosius had his best season as a big leaguer as he batted .300 with 19 HR, 98 RBI and 86 runs. Both bats come courtesy of their 1998 Yankee teammate, Chili Davis.
The brown Louisville Slugger T141 Chuck Knoblauch bat with a mahogany handle is signed and inscribed on the clean barrel "To Chili Dawg, Thanks for the knowledge! Together we win Championships! Chuck Knoblauch '98" in 9/10 silver marker. The black Adirondack Scott Brosius bat is unsigned and stamped on the knob "SB 7" with the "9 21 98" manufacturing date.
Includes Hunt Auction LOA documenting source of both bats through teammate Chili Davis. Autograph pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
