This was the bat that really got me started collecting game used equipment. I had a few bats and I was activly looking for a Bonds Gamer. I picked up a Sosa bat that was cracked. I had slways avoided cracked bats but seeing and holding it the game use just jumped out at me. The crack was just a part of what happens when a player like Sammy swings a bat a good number of times.
Then I saw this in an auction not my favorite bat manufacturer but I had not seen another Bonds bat with this level of use offerd for sale in the 2 years I had been looking. Like others have mentioned the deep stich marks are an instant reminder of who was swinging this bat. PSA gave this a 9.
