Josh Donaldson’s Game-Used Bats: A Tribute to Excellence

An Overview of the Bats

In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game like a player’s bat. We are thrilled to present two exceptional bats used by the illustrious Josh Donaldson during the 2016 season. These bats are not just tools of the trade; they are symbols of Donaldson’s prowess and dedication to the sport.

The Mother’s Day Bat

The first bat, known as the Mother’s Day Bat, is a Marucci model JD20, crafted from maple wood and finished in a striking pink hue. Measuring 34 inches in length and weighing 31.9 ounces, this bat is a testament to Donaldson’s precision and power. The bat remains un-cracked, showing evidence of light use, a testament to its durability and the care with which it was wielded.

• Manufacturer: Marucci
• Model Number: JD20
• Labeling Period: 2016
• Length: 34 inches
• Weight: 31.9 ounces
• Wood: Maple
• Finish: Pink

Stamped onto the knob are the date of manufacture, Donaldson’s number “20”, the length “4”, and weight “1.5”. Donaldson has signed the barrel in silver marker, adding the inscription “Game Used 16”. The signature, in our opinion, rates an 8. This bat has been graded GU10 by PSA/DNA, underscoring its authenticity and significance.

The Black Bat

The second bat, finished in a classic black, shares the same manufacturer, model number, and labeling period as the Mother’s Day Bat. However, it weighs slightly more at 32.7 ounces and shows signs of heavy use, reflecting the intensity of the games it was part of. Donaldson’s signature, accompanied by the inscription “Game Used 16”, graces the barrel, with the signature rating an 8.5 in our opinion. This bat comes with a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from both PSA/DNA and JSA, further cementing its status as a prized collectible.

Why These Bats Matter

These bats are more than just pieces of wood; they are relics of a season that showcased Josh Donaldson’s exceptional talent and dedication. As a player who has left an indelible mark on the game, owning a piece of his history is an opportunity not to be missed.
