Louisville Slugger 125 model bat with Stargell facsimile signature burned into the barrel measures 34.5" long and weighs 32.9oz. Outstanding usage wear can be found throughout with- ball and stitch marks covering the barrel which has some light grain swelling due to repeated contact. The handle has been lightly scored for grip and a light coat of pine tar appiled. In addition, there are blue and red rack marks along with some scattered cleat marks.
