1990-92 Harold Baines Oakland Athletics Autographed Hoosier Professional Model Game Used Bat (MEARS A9)

Offered is an autographed Harold Baines professional model Hoosier game used bat from his time with the Oakland Athletics in the early 1990's. Model number I35 is stamped on the barrel along with The Dream & Harold Baines in block letters while Harold's uniform number 3 is written on the knob in black marker. Baines has also signed the barrel in silver sharpie along with his uniform number.

This ash bat currently weighs 30 ounces, measures 34.5" in length and matches known player factory records with a regular knob and cupped barrel. It exhibits signs of heavy use with ball marks, deeply embedded stitch marks, bat rack marks, handle tape, a medium application of pine tar and a 6" handle crack with some separation.

Bat receives 5 points for matching known player factory records, 3 points for use, 2 point for player use traits and loses 1 point for the handle crack resulting in a final grade of MEARS A9.
