Description
1994 Michael Jordan Game Used & Signed Bat, PSA/DNA GU 7. 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 actually 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.
MJ would make 127 appearances with the Birmingham Barons of the Southern League--the Chicago White Sox' double-A affiliate--batting .202 with three home runs, fifty-one RBI's and thirty base thefts. This Louisville Slugger M216 exhibits outstanding game use from MJ's flirtation with our national pastime, with ball marks, stitch impressions and ink transfers coating the barrel, and a 14x1.5" chunk of that barrel representing the fatal wound that finally ended the lumber's long service to the greatest living American sports hero. Length is thirty-five inches (35"), current weight thirty-one ounces (31 oz.). Number "45" is written in silver marker on the knob, and a silver sharpie signature on the barrel is a bit smeared but still unmistakable. LOA from PSA/DNA, GU 7.
Guide Value or Estimate: $10,000 - up.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
