Lousiville Slugger M9 model "M356" bat used by slugger Joey Votto during the 2011 season. The bat, which is uncracked, displays excellent use including ball marks, cleat impressions, and a moderate coat of pine tar on the handle. Votto's number is scripted onto the knob in silver marker, and the date of manufacture (4/11/11 x2), the length (34), and the weight (30 oz) are stamped along the knob. Votto's signature along with the inscription "Game Used 2012" are scripted in silver marker on the barrel. "BP" is branded next to Votto's name on the barrel. The PSA/DNA letter states: We checked with the manufactured and they indicated "BP" stands for batting practice. Apparently, Votto designates his "BP" bats with this special barrel brand. In spite of the "BP" destination the bat has been signed by Votto as being game used in 2012. Length: 34 inches. Weight: 31.6 ounces. Full LOA from PSA/DNA (bat only). COA from PSA/DNA (signature only). The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Opening Bid $200.
