1996 marked Juan Gonzalez's first of two American League MVP seasons. Raking 47 home runs while driving in 144 RBI and hitting .314, Juan's stats made the decision easy for voters. Here we have one of the bats he used during that season and one can imagine the damage he did with this lumber. The Rawlings model 225A bat shows outstanding use with a crack on the back barrel. Number 19 is written on the knob and Gonzalez even signed the barrel with MVP 96 inscription in 9/10 black Sharpie. Comes with full LOA from PSA/DNA with grade of GU 9.5.
