The Chicago Cubs hero is one of the newest members of the 500 home run club. The only question is how many will he end up with when he’s done slammin’ those long balls. He is the premier power hitter in the game, next to maybe Barry Bonds, and this black Rawlings Big Stick 170B is direct proof of that. Great use from the season preceeding the historic summer of McGwire's & Sosa's famous home run race with whole ball marks indented on the barrel, pine tarred and cracked handle. Slammin’ Sammy’s signature tape at bottom of handle around the knob. Capped with a silver sharpie autograph on the barrel.
