Before Rose was a pariah, he had little trouble persuading this staggering array of MVPs to sign this bat. Rose, who was the 1973 NL MVP, is joined on the barrel by 21 other winners including Hank Aaron, Willie Stargell, Johnny Bench, Mike Schmidt, Joe Morgan, George Foster, Dale Murphy, Ryne Sandberg, Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Willie McCovey, Vida Blue, Willie McGree, and Lou Boudreau. Signatures average EX. The Mizuno bat itself, nicked in spots and characterized by an uncarved knob, is from '81 when Rose was with the Phillies and moving in on Stan Musial's NL hit record, broken on August 10 with hit number 3,161. Great collector's item.
