Description: Superb 1980 Pete Rose professional model baseball bat - World Series Championship season (PSA "GU 9.5") Louisville Slugger 125 model R211 bat with Rose facsimile signature in the barrel measures 35" long and weighs 33.3oz. Uncracked with strong use including several ball and contact marks to the right portion of the barrel which has been sanded down. This is a trademark Rose characteristic and a highly desirable trait with regard to his game bats from this era. Signed "To Richie, Good Wishes, Pete Rose" in marker rating 8 out of 10 (note - while the signature is strong is can be hard to discern given the contrast against darker background). Rose was a driving force behind the Phillies' 1980 World Series championship, providing relentless leadership, veteran experience, and a fierce competitive spirit that helped transform the club into a winner. His .282 batting average, steady presence at first base, and ability to inspire teammates played a major role in bringing the franchise its first World Series title. Includes LOA from PSA/DNA (graded "GU 9.5") and auction LOA from JSA: EXEstimated Price Range: ($5,000-$10,000)
