This Hillerich & Bradsby C271 bat was used by Griffey during the 2001-2002 seasons with Cincinnati during which he hit .278 and slugged 30 home runs. The bat is un-cracked and shows outstanding use by the Hall of Famer. Many ball marks and stitch impressions can be seen on the barrel along with white leather ball scuffs and cleat imprints. There is the impression of a weighted batting donut. The handle has been taped in a criss-cross pattern to enhance Griffey’s grip and a light coat of pine tar has been applied over it. In short, this bat looks every inch like it was used by the most talented and explosive ballplayer to come along since Willie Mays. This bat comes with a letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA (1B06903) who have given this Griffy Gamer a perfect grade of “GU 10”.
