With this black Carolina Club on July 28, 2002 Pudge Rodriguez, facing Barry Zitoof Oakland, got his 9th homer of the season to give Texas a 1-0 lead in the second inning. This would be I-Rod’s 205th career home run. Jump on this opportunity, as he will surely be a remembered name on the record books. Bat shows nice use and has the original white grip tape criss-crossed on the handle. Signed on the sweet spot in silver sharpie: “Ivan Rodriguez HR 205 7-28-02”. Writing on knob as well (illegible). Guess which ball mark was left by #205! LOA from Rodriguez.
