A vital cog in the wheels of the Big Red Machine, Tony Perez's ability to produce runs out of thin air helped the club to four National League Pennants and a pair of World Championships. This assortment of game-used gear from the Hall of Famer spans two decades of his career. The bat shows evidence of good use with a few scattered ball and rack marks on the barrel. The player number "24" appears on both ends of the bat in black marker and there is a small mounting hole in the knob. Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby, Model Number: R43, Labeling Period: 1977-79, Length: 35-1/2 inches, Weight: 33-1/2 ounces, Wood: Ash, Finish: Flame Burned. In the waist of the pants is the "Rawlings" manufacturer's tag with the size "32." Adjacent to this is a white patch with the player name "PEREZ" and another white patch reading "33 24 84 1." This denotes inseam, player number, year, and set number, respectively. In addition, the name "Perez" and number "24" are written in the waist in black marker. The pants are stamped "Purchased from the Cincinnati Reds" on the inside and show nice use. The bat comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
