Pete Rose is the MLB all-time leader in hits with 4,256. Rose won three World Series and took home World Series MVP honors one time. A three-time regular season National League MVP, Rose was named to the MLB’s All-Century Team and was a three-time NL batting champion. Manufacturer: Mizuno Model Number: A.T.H.L. Length: Labeling Period: 1986 Length: 34 inches Weight: 32 ounces Wood: Ash Finish: Black. This bat is uncracked and shows evidence of outstanding use. Slight checking from repeated contact is on the back barrel. Ball marks include black ink transfers. Cleat marks are visible on the left barrel. The right barrel has been sanded, which is a Rose characteristic from the era. Rose’s trademark tape application has been applied to the handle. Rose signed the barrel in silver marker with the added inscription “1986 Final Season ATHL” and in our opinion the signature rates a near 9. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA and a PSA/DNA LOA grading the bat a GU 10.
