Yaz played in more games (3,308) than any other American Leaguer, topping 3,000 hits and 400 home runs. He was a three-time batting champion and the American League MVP in 1967 when he won the Triple Crown, the last player to achieve the feat. This uncracked Carl Yastrzemski game-used bat shows evidence of exceptional game use. The barrel has evidence of many ball marks, cleat marks, and several black bat rack marks. There is a light coat of pine tar on the handle under the centerbrand. "Game 8", a Yaz trademark, is written in black marker on the knob end. Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby, Model Number: C243, Labeling Period: 1977-1979, Length: 35-1/4 in, Weight: 34 oz, Wood: Ash, Finish: Natural. The bat comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
