1965-68 Willie Mays San Francisco Giants H&B Louisville Slugger Professional Model Game Used Bat (MEARS A8)

Offered is a Wille Mays professional model H&B Louisville Slugger game used bat from his time spent with the San Francisco Giants between 1965 and 1968. Mays is stamped on the barrel while model number S2 is stamped on the knob along with "24 Giants" written in faded black marker.

This ash bat currently weighs 33 ounces, measures 35" in length and matches known player factory records with a regular knob and round barrel. It exhibits signs of heavy use with ball marks, stitch marks, dead wood, a heavy application of pine tar and a 6" handle crack.

Bat receives 5 points for matching known player factory records, 3 points for use, 1 point for player use traits and loses 1 point for the handle crack resulting in a final grade of MEARS A8.
