Description
1994 Michael Jordan Game Used & Signed Bat, PSA/DNA GU 9.5. There are two nearly universally-held opinions about Michael Jordan--he was the greatest basketball player of all time, and his aspirations to become a Major League Baseball player were a silly delusion. However, only the first of those two contentions is accurate. While it's historical fact that His Airness never did make it all the way to "The Show," some pretty serious experts believed that path was blocked not by a lack of ability but rather by Jordan's return to his native hardcourt home."He had it all--ability, aptitude, work ethic," explained Terry Francona, Jordan's manager with the Barons who would himself find his way to the Bigs, and even World Championship glory, in the years to come. "He was always so respectful of what we were doing and considerate of his teammates...I do think with another 1,000 at-bats, he would have made it." The Oakland A's actually offered Jordan a spot on their twenty-five-man roster, but Jordan refused, intent upon earning his way upwards rather than accepting an artificial boost from his global fame.
The offered Louisville Slugger M216 saw extensive action from MJ's time with the Birmingham Barons farm club of the Chicago White Sox, showcasing ball marks, ink transfers, cleat marks and a repaired crack on the barrel. Light pine tar appears on the handle. Number "45" is written in silver on the knob. Length is thirty-five inches (35"), weight thirty-two ounces (32.0 oz.). Silver sharpie autograph on the barrel is 9/10.
The bat entered the hobby through a 1995 Chicago White Sox charity auction, and is accompanied by a letter from that organization thanking the winner bidder for his purchase. LOA from PSA/DNA, GU 9.5. Letter of provenance from Chicago White Sox Charities. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
