For many baseball viewers in the 1970's, it simply didn't get better than Hammering Hank Aaron of the Braves. Shot into the spot light as a young player, signed items are becoming more desirable, as the slugger is no longer signing and his age is progressing. Even better than signed, though, is anything game used by the real Home Run King. One of the best game used items we have ever seen from Aaron, offered here is the Hillerich & Bradsby A99 Hank Aaron professional model baseball bat that Hammerin' Hank used to slug the 745th homer of his career (one of his final 10!). This 35" ash piece of lumber shows evidence of light use and contains Aaron's number "44" on the knob and top of the barrel. The model number, length and weight specs have been confirmed as being ordered by the player during his 1975 season. Adding to the evidence of the historic use of this bat is Aaron's bold black felt tip signature and inscription reading "9-14-75 HR #745", confirming the use. Astounding! PSA/DNA's game used bat expert John Taube has assigned the bat a grade of GU 7. Also accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity for the autograph.
