This very nice Louisville Slugger model S318 is uncracked and shows a lot of use - there is plenty of pine tar on the handle and ball marks on the barrel. Dustin Pedroia's number 15 is written on the knob and barrel end in silver paint pen. We believe this bat is from 2008, the season in which Pedroia won the AL MVP award, Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove. 2008 was also the year in which Pedroia finished second overall in the AL in batting average. It wasn't enough to get the Sox into the Series, but it was a great year for Pedroia.
