“Mr. Padre” was an eight-time National League batting champion, which is tied for the most in NL history and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007 on the first ballot. Gwynn batted .300 or higher in every season except his rookie year, giving him a record 19 straight seasons above .300. Louisville Slugger manufactured B267 model bat that measures 32.75 inches and weighs 29.8 ounces. The ash wood bat with a flame burned finish is uncracked and shows excellent use. Several ball marks are present on the barrel. The lower handle and knob have been taped and there is a moderate coat of pine tar on the mid handle. The model number, length, weight and player number “19” are written on the knob. Gwynn’s number is also written on the top barrel in black. Gwynn signed the barrel in black and in our opinion rates a near 9. Accompanied by a PSA/DNA LOA grading the bat a GU 9 and an ALOA from JSA.
