With his newly inked seven year $100 million contract it looks like Albert Pujols will become the St. Louis Cardinals' franchise player. He is a rock solid foundation to build upon, having put up some remarkable numbers in his first three years with the club. This bat, used by the star last season, shows excellent use with ball, hit, and transfer marks scattered about the barrel. In addition, there are red rack marks present and a moderate coat of pine tar has been applied to the handle. The player number "5" has been written on the knob in black marker next to some ink notations placed there by the factory. Manufacturer: Rawlings, Model Number: 773B, Labeling Period: 2003, Length: 33-3/4 inches, Weight: 31-1/2 ounces, Wood: Ash, Finish: Natural. The bat comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
