Frank Robinson is one of the few players to win the MVP in both the AL and NL. He also won the Triple Crown in the AL and appeared in 12 All-Star Games. This cracked Frank Robinson game-used bat shows evidence of tremendous game use. The right and left barrel has ball-hit marks and the back of the barrel has blue bat rack marks. The cracked handle has a heavy coat of pine tar. Frank's player number '20' and the bat weight in ounces is written in black marker on the knob end. The player number and ounces were done in vintage ink and has faded over time. These two markings on the knob are Robinson trademarks that place this bat directly in his hands. The front barrel has an autograph which grades a 9. Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby, Model #: R143, Labeling Period: 1965-66, Length: 35 in, Weight: 32 oz, Wood: Ash, Finish: Flame Burned. The bat and autograph each come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
