As the Phillies began rising to the top of the standings in 1979, Mike Schmidt too rose to the occasion, his 43 home runs breaking the franchise record set back in 1929. The next season Schmidt's heroics at the plate earned him the National League MVP Award. He almost single-handedly destroyed the Royals pitching in the 1980 World Series, adding the Series MVP Award to NL MVP Award. This bat was used by the Hall of Famer during his finest summers. The Adirondack MS20 model bat exhibits light use and is un-cracked. A few ball marks with stitch impressions and black ink transfers are visible on the barrel. The model number "MS20" is stamped into the knob end and Schmidt's number "20" and bat weight "34" are hand written in black marker. The Hall of Famer has signed the barrel between the center stamp and stamped endorsement in black marker. A great signed gamer from the sweet spot of Schmidt's Hall of Fame career. Letter of Authenticity 1B08965 from PSA/DNA.
