En route to his debut with the Braves in 1992 (sticking for good in '94 as one of the game's best young backstops), Lopez used this Louisville Slugger 113 personal model bat in the minors, already having earned the cachet of seeing his name imprinted on a bat even then. Lopez, who would clear double digits in HRs 6 straight years with the Braves, signed the shaft with his name and #8 in black marker, grading 9/10. Handwritten "8" also appears on the knob. Bat is well used with plenty of nicks and ball marks and is a great looking chocolate brown color.
