Dating from the 2013 season, this David Ortiz block-letter (full name) model "DO34" Marucci bat is made of maple, as opposed to ash, and is not cracked. Graded GU 7.5 by PSA/DNA. The bat displays evidence of light use, including a few ball marks, ball-stitch impressions, and cleat marks. The PSA/DNA letter notes "an impression from a weighted batting donut and a taped handle." The bat's date of manufacture ("9/23/13"), length ("4"), and weight ("2.3"), along with Ortiz's number ("34"), are stamped on the knob. Ortiz has signed the bat and added his uniform number "34" and "Game Used" in silver marker on the barrel. A fan favorite, Ortiz smashed 541 home runs over the course of his legendary career. Length: 34.5 inches. Weight: 32.7 ounces. Full LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA (for the bat, corresponding sticker affixed to the barrel end) and an additional auction LOA from JSA/James Spence (for the signature). The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Opening Bid $300.
