Unique Features and Authenticity
The handle of the bat is adorned with Lizard Skin tape in a spiral pattern, extending approximately 9.5 inches, and is coated with a heavy layer of pine tar. Mike Trout has signed the barrel in silver marker, adding the inscriptions “4 HR vs Sea HR” and “#20-21 6-11 HR #22-23 6-12 18 G/U.” In our opinion, the signature rates a strong 8.
