Circa 2004-05 game used bat is from late in the career of power-hitting sensation Sammy Sosa. Easton model SS1 is uncracked and shows use including Mota stick residue on the handle - which is lightly shaved - and clear ball impressions on the barrel. Measures 35" in length and weighs 35.5 ounces. The knob is heavily wrapped with cloth tape, which is a common feature on Sosa bats. Enclosed PSA LOA indicates use as well as identifying the '04-05 labeling period. Despite a prominent news report claiming he tested positive for Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) in 2003, Sosa continues to deny ever having used such substances which, if true, would make his 609 career home runs - which included four straight seasons of 50-or-more - an easy ticket to the Hall of Fame, though he has not come close to induction to date.
