First ballot HoFer, Tony Gwynn won one of his eight batting titles in 1988. This is a Batting Title award which is only given out to one person, as opposed to a Silver Slugger award which is given to multiple players. The simple design essentially matches that of Gwynn's game bats, with the Louisville Slugger trademark and facsimile signature on the barrel. The barrel of this silver bat is engraved with “BATTING CHAMPION 1988 NATIONAL LEAGUE B.A. .313. The bat presents beautifully with minor tarnishing. Accompanied by a Gwynn family LOA.
