"The Machine", Albert Pujols, wielded this Marucci AP5-M Custom Cut in game play during his 2009 MVP award winning season. A terrific example of the power and pure torque generated from Pujols' monstorous swing, this bat is highlighted staggering crack that originates from the impact area of the barrel and carries down to the neck. In addition to cracking, this bat features excellent usage including numerous impact/stich markings and a light coat of pine tar. Capping off this unique war club is a beautiful autograph from Pujols, boldly penned across the black barrel in silver metallic marker, with Pujols adding "Game Used" along with his autograph to further solidify the bat's usage. Acquired direct from Pujols and accompanied by an assortment of rock-solid authenticity, including a COA and Grade of G/U 7 from John Taube of PSA/DNA; a COA and matching hologram from the Pujols Family Foundation; and an authentication hologram from Major League Baseball (MLB).
