1976 Sal Bando professional model bicentennial baseball bat

1976 Sal Bando professional model bicentennial baseball bat. Louisville Slugger 125 model N38 bat with Bando facsimile signature in the barrel measures 35" long and currently weighs 32.7oz. The factory applied bicentennial logo only appears on bats issued for the 1976 season. Outstanding use with a handle crack and there is grain swelling due to repeated contact. Some additional surface wear includes a missing (approx. 0.75"x4.5") piece from the back of the barrel. An obscured notation on the knob does not appear to be Bando's number. He had another strong season for Oakland in 1976 hitting (.240) with (27) home runs in his longtime role as team captain. He had helped lead the Athletics to three consecutive World Series Championships earlier in the decade. Includes LOA from PSA/DNA: VG-EX
