Presented to us as game-used, these bats are accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from PSA/DNA, ensuring their place in the annals of baseball history.

Frank Thomas Bat

The Frank Thomas bat, manufactured by Rawlings, bears the model number 576B and hails from the 1996 labeling period. Known as “The Big Hurt,” Thomas was a formidable presence on the field, and this bat is a tangible reminder of his prowess. The bat shows signs of use, a silent witness to the power and precision that defined Thomas’s career.

Sammy Sosa Bats

Sammy Sosa, a name synonymous with home run heroics, is represented here with two distinct bats:

• X Bat Model 16: From the 2002 labeling period, this bat captures the essence of Sosa’s explosive performance during his prime years.
• Louisville Slugger Model G157: Dating back to 1991, this bat is a relic from the early days of Sosa’s illustrious career, showcasing the beginnings of a legend.

Both bats exhibit signs of use, reflecting the intensity and dedication that Sosa brought to the game.

Gary Sheffield Bat

The Gary Sheffield bat, crafted by Louisville Slugger with the model number R161, spans the 2001-02 labeling period. Sheffield, renowned for his distinctive batting stance and formidable hitting ability, has signed this bat in silver marker, adding the inscription “Game Used.” The signature, in our opinion, rates a 9, further enhancing the bat’s allure.
