For over 20 years Kirby Puckett wielded one of the most devastating bats in the American League. In 1991, one of the seasons this bat dates to, Puckett almost single-handedly won the World Championship for the Twins.
Puck was a 10 time All-Star, 5-time Silver Slugger Award winner and 7-time runner-up for league MVP - all adding up to a plaque in Cooperstown for Puckett in 2001. The Louisville Slugger C243 model bat shows outstanding use with a handle crack. The barrel shows many ball marks and stitch impressions along with blue ink transfers. There are many cleat impressions and there is some checking on the back barrel from repeated ball contact. A moderate coat of pine tar is found on the upper handle and his number "34" is written on the knob in black marker.
Puck has signed the barrel in black marker, making this a very special all of Fame gamer. Letter of Authenticity (1B06538) from PSA/DNA who have graded this bat a GU 8.
