Lot #616:

Jerry Grote Game-Ready & Autographed Bat

Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby Length: 34.5 inches Weight: 33.1 ounces Model Number: S2. The bat shows evidence of light game use with multiple ball marks seen on the back barrel and cleat impressions. The player number “15” is handwritten on the knob and bottom. Grote signed the barrel in black marker with the added inscription that appears to read “To Ricky My (unintelligible)” and in our opinion the signature rates a 7. Accompanied by an ALOA from JSA and a PSA/DNA Pre-Cert LOA.
