This Louisville Slugger Mickey Mantle Model M3 bat measures 33" and weighs 35 oz. Bat is flame treated and has BV written in marker on the knob. The inscription on the barrel reads: "To Tom Best Wishes Mickey Mantle" in blue sharpie. Mantle stopped signing bats in the early 1990s, so items such as this one are hard to find. The signature grades 9, making this a terrific addition to any collection.
