Frank Thomas Chicago White Sox signed and inscribed game used bat is a Rawlings/Adirondack model 576B dating from the 1996 labeling period and attributed to his 31st home run of the season. Black ash bat shows terrific use with a slight handle crack, prominent ball marks with blue stamp transfers on the barrel, and checking noted to the barrel. Measures 34.75" and weighs 31.1 ounces, stamping on the knob includes: 576B - 36 - 96 - R441; signed in 7/10 silver Sharpie between trademark and barrel along with inscription: HR #31 9/11/96. It is worth noting that the writing is perfectly nestled among some of the aforementioned ball ink transfers. The Big Hurt belted a 4th-inning solo shot - the 213th of his Hall of Fame career - but it was not enough as the host Orioles rallied for a 7-6 victory over the White Sox. Comes with PSA/DNA LOA grading this marvel as GU 9.5 (note that the LOA is for game use only and does not offer an opinion on signature or inscription). Also comes with Thomas COA.
