HOFer, Scott Rolen "Rolen's the perfect baseball player," longtime manager Ned Yost told Sports Illustrated in 2004. "It's his tenacity, his preparation, the way he plays. He tries to do everything fundamentally sound. And he puts the team first – there's no fanfare with him." This is a Louisville Slugger C271 Scott Rolen pro model bat - 33.75 / 30.7oz. Evidence of many ball marks, ink transfers, bat rack streaks and moderate pine tar. Player number (27) is written on the knob and top barrel. During the era, OAL baseballs were imprinted with blue ink and ONL balls with black ink, indicating inter-league play. This bat is properly marked, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. Accompanied by a letter from PSA/DNA - GU 9, as well as a Scott Rolen Gala Dinner, Auction & Dance pamphlet.
