It would be hard to find a ballplayer who enjoys the game more than slammin' Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs. That's evident in the way he sprints out to right field before every game at Wrigley Field. This cracked Sammy Sosa bat has evidence of outstanding game use. The barrel is large with a medium handle and regular knob. The grain width is narrow. The barrel is covered with ball, ball stitch, blue ball transfer, and cleat marks. The handle has been cracked and the knob has been taped with Sosa's trademark, padded tape. There is tape residue on the handle that covers the crack. Sosa's player number "21" is written in silver pen on the knob end. The front barrel has been autographed in silver pen, which grades a 9. Manufacturer: Rawlings, Model Number: 170B, Labeling Period: 1999, Length: 34-1/2 in, Weight: 32 oz, Wood: Ash, Finish: Black. The bat and autograph each come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
