ITEM DESCRIPTION

||||||||||||
The greatest leadoff man in baseball history, and the all-time leader in runs, steals, & walks got his 3,001st career hit with this black Louisville C271. Three days after Rickey Henderson became the all-time leader in runs scored, he reached yet another milestone with his 3,000th hit against John Thomson of the Colorado Rockies in the last game of the season in 2001, becoming the 25th member to enter this exclusive club. This is not that bat, but a momentous piece of lumber nonetheless. Perfect silver sharpie signature rests right on the sweet spot, signed “Rickey Henderson hits 3001”. Grip tape on handle by knob with pine tar residue. Initials, “RH” written at both ends of bat. LOA from Henderson himself.
