After a rocky few seasons in the late 1990s, designated hitter Frank Thomas rebounded with force in 2000, when he hit .328 with a career-high 43 homers and 143 RBI. Thomas finished second in MVP voting that season and won the 2000 AL Comeback Player of the Year Award. Offered here is a Rawlings Big Stick 576B model baseball bat used by Thomas during the 2000 season, showing excellent use and remaining un-cracked. The Big Hurt took some serious cuts with this bat and many ball marks with stitch impressions can be seen as well as white leather scuff marks and blue ink transfers. Cleat marks are visible on the barrel along with slight checking. A great piece of lumber from one of the newest members of the Hall of Fame. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA, with the bat grading a GU 9.5!
