Offered is a professional model Frank Thomas game used Louisville Slugger dating to his 1991 season with the Chicago White Sox. After a strong showing during his late season call up in 1990 the Big Hurt would prove he was no flash in the pan by batting .318 with 32 home runs & 109 RBI while leading the league in walks (138) & on base percentage (.453) en route to a third place finish in the 1991 AL MVP voting. Model C243 stamped on barrel, which has also been signed in blue marker by Thomas, while Frank's uniform number 35 is written on the knob in black marker. Bat currently measures 34", weighs 29.5 ounces and shows heavy use with ball marks, stitch marks, bat rack marks, grain swelling and a repaired handle crack. Bat receives 5 points for matching player records, 3 points for use and 1 point for a documented uniform number with 1 point subtracted for the handle crack resulting in a final grade of MEARS A8. LOA from PSA/DNA awarding the bat a grade of GU8.5 will also attend. (79G0215)
