Alex Rodriguez hit the 502nd home run of his career during his 2007 MVP season with this Louisville Slugger C271L model bat. The ash wood bat measures 34 inches and weighs 31.7 ounces with a black finish. The bat is uncracked and shows heavy use. Many ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible as well as cleat marks. There is a heavy coat of Mota stick on the handle. Rodriguez signed the front barrel of the bat in silver marker with the added inscription “HR #502 vs. Byrd 8-11-07” and in our opinion rates an 8. Accompanied by a PSA/DNA LOA grading the bat a GU 9.5, a Rodriguez LOA and a Beckett LOA for the signature.
