We are proud to offer this unique, documented one shipment bat of the most underrated superstar of all time, Eddie Murray. Brandishing the old 83-85 center brand, review of Eddie Murrays personal H&B bat records indicate that this exact bat was shipped to the Orioles in 1986, one of a few shipments sent to him before the transition to the 1986 models.
Measuring at the top range of preferred length, 36” and currently weighing 34.4 ounces, this Eddie Murray signature model bat shows extremely heavy game use on all sides of the barrel. Additionally, all factory stampings are perfect on this high grade ash bat with hickory finish. Cleat marks are neatly scattered on the bats surface, and heavy game use has resulted in a 2” closed handle crack.
Advanced bat collectors know that Eddie Murray’s uniform number on knob is very distinct, and this bat has the personally applied Eddie Murray 33 on knob.
Final Grade MEARS A10. Base grade 5 points, 3 points for heavy game use, 2 points for matching factory records, documented uniform number, and documented heavy player game use traits. If we could give this bat an 11, we would.
