An Iconic Piece of Baseball Memorabilia
In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the imagination quite like the pink bat used by Alex Rodriguez on Mother’s Day 2010. This bat, crafted by Louisville Slugger, is a testament to both the player’s prowess and the special occasion it commemorates. With its model number C271L, the bat measures 34 inches in length and weighs 32 ounces, made from the finest ash wood. The bat remains uncracked, showing only light use, a testament to its careful preservation.
Distinctive Features and Significance
The bat’s barrel bears the impression of a weighted batting sleeve, and a moderate coat of Mota Stick graces the handle, indicating its use by Rodriguez. The date of manufacture, “42610,” is stamped into the knob, marking its creation just days before its historic use. Adding to its allure, Rodriguez has signed the barrel in blue marker, inscribing “Game Used Mother’s Day,” a detail that, in our opinion, rates a near 9 in terms of autograph quality.
