Mike Schmidt’s 1987 Game-Used Bat: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

An Icon of the Diamond

Mike Schmidt, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, stands as a towering figure in the annals of Major League Baseball. A Hall of Famer, Schmidt’s illustrious career is adorned with accolades that include twelve All-Star selections, ten Gold Glove Awards, and the prestigious title of World Series Champion. His prowess at the plate earned him the National League MVP award three times, a testament to his dominance in the sport.

In the 1987 season, Schmidt showcased his legendary power by hitting 35 home runs and driving in 113 RBIs, further solidifying his status as one of the game’s all-time greats. It is within this context that we present a remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia—a game-used bat from Schmidt’s 1987 season.

The Bat: A Symbol of Power and Precision

This extraordinary bat, crafted by Adirondack, bears the model number 154A and was used during the 1987 All-Star Game. Measuring 35 inches in length and weighing 33 ounces, the bat is made of ash wood with a flame-burned finish, exuding a classic and timeless appeal. Presented to us as game-used, this bat is a tangible connection to Schmidt’s remarkable career.

• Manufacturer: Adirondack
• Model Number: 154A
• Labeling Period: 1987 ASG
• Length: 35 inches
• Weight: 33 ounces
• Wood: Ash
• Finish: Flame Burned

The bat exhibits evidence of excellent use, with a slight handle crack that has been expertly repaired. It bears several ball marks and bat rack streaks, along with a light coating of pine tar, indicative of its time in the hands of a master hitter. The model number and Schmidt’s initials “MS” are stamped into the knob, alongside his iconic number “20” inscribed in black marker.

A Signature of Authenticity

Adding to the bat’s allure is Schmidt’s signature on the front barrel, rendered in blue marker. In our opinion, the signature rates a near 8, a testament to its clarity and preservation. While the original PSA/DNA sticker for the signature, “F95364,” remains affixed, the accompanying letter has been lost over time. However, the bat is accompanied by a PSA/DNA LOA grading it a GU 10, as well as an ALOA from JSA, ensuring its authenticity and significance.

This bat is not merely a piece of wood; it is a fragment of baseball history, a relic from the career of one of the sport’s most revered figures. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it represents an opportunity to own a piece of the legacy of Mike Schmidt, a player whose impact on the game is both profound and enduring.
