Utilizing impeccable mechanics, pinpoint control, a solid curve, and a wicked fastball, Roger Clemens has achieved all that a pitcher can in the course of a career. With nine All-Star Game appearances, six Cy Young Awards, six 20-win seasons, and two World Championships under his belt, "The Rocket" surely holds court among the top-five pitchers of all time. Clemens made few plate appearances during his time in New York, thus the supply of game-used bats that can be attributed to him are very few in number and none can boast the provenance of the one offered here. It comes directly from his hands and included will be a copy of the FedEx label that Clemens used to mail it to the previous owner. It shows tremendous use with ball, hit, transfer, and rack marks visible on the barrel. His number "22" appears on both ends in silver paint pen and he has signed the barrel in similar color marker rating a dead on 10. Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby, Model Number: M356, Labeling Period: 2001-03, Length: 33.5, Weight: 30.4 ounces, Wood: Ash, Finish: Black. The bat and autograph each come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
