Barry Bonds’ Legendary Bat: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

An Icon of Baseball History

Barry Bonds, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, stands as one of the most talented players the sport has ever witnessed. His remarkable achievements include holding the records for the most home runs all-time and the most home runs in a single season. Bonds’ prowess on the field earned him the National League MVP award an unprecedented seven times, and he remains one of only two players to have achieved the remarkable feat of 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.

The Bat: A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

This extraordinary bat, crafted by the Original Maple Bat Co. (SAM), is a testament to Bonds’ legendary career. The bat, model number “Bonds 2K1,” measures 34 inches in length and weighs 33.7 ounces, made from exquisite maple wood with a striking black and brown finish. Presented to us as game-used, this bat is uncracked and exhibits evidence of outstanding use, with numerous ball marks and ball stitch impressions visible on the right and back barrel. The presence of blue ink transfers and cleat marks on the left barrel further attests to its storied history.

Distinctive Features and Signature

  • Grip Enhancement: The handle and knob are meticulously taped in a spiral and criss-cross pattern to enhance grip, accompanied by a light coat of pine tar on the upper handle.
  • Personalization: The top barrel bears the length “34”, weight “31.8 oz”, date of manufacture “06 07 02”, model number “2K1”, and Bonds’ initials “B.B.” inscribed in black ink.
  • Signature: Bonds signed the barrel in silver marker, with an inscription that has been professionally removed. In our opinion, the signature rates an 8.

Accompanied by Authenticity

This remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA and a PSA/DNA LOA grading the bat a GU 10, ensuring its authenticity and significance. Such a prestigious item is a must-have for any serious collector of baseball memorabilia.
