Alex Rodriguez' final year with the Seattle Mariners was one for the history books. In the year 2000 season, "A-Rod" became the only shortstop to ever record 100 runs, 100 RBI, and 100 base on balls. This was the only season he ever reached the 100 walks plateau. Rodriguez also connected for a slew of hits, including 41 home runs, while notching a .316 batting average in 2000. Plenty of his batting contact came with this 2000 game-used Rawlings Big Stick bat in his hands, as evidenced by the astonishing array of contact marks and other wear, including deadwood all around the barrel, deep ball impressions, ink transfers, and pine tar residue concentrated around the blue ring on the upper handle area and the factory brand labeling. Rodriguez has applied an autograph graded ("10") by SCD on the barrel, and he has included the important provenance inscription "Game Used 2000". The model number "619B" is located on the knob, and certification comes in triplicate, with a PSA/DNA LOA, an SCD LOA, and an AROD Authenticated LOA signed by Rodriguez, with matching number hologram stickers on the bat barrel and the LOA.
