Young Boog Powell wasn't even playing 1st base yet when he wielded this 34", 35 oz. bat, but he was already swinging for the fences with a career-high 39 home runs and league-leading .606 slugging percentage in '64. Heavy use overall with a 2" handle crack, cleat marks, ball/stitch marks, bat rack marks, grain swelling, pine tar and the knob number notation "26." An accompanying MEARS LOA describes "Use on all sides" and "Perfect markings." Graded A8. Powell's blue-marker "9" signature (and inscription "70 AL MVP") comes with an SGC Authentic cert.
