This 34.5" H&B Ron Santo Game-Used bat dates to the 1965-68 labeling period. The S2 model weighs 30.6 ounces and exhibits evidence of heavy use with a handle crack. Many ball marks and stitch impressions are visible on the left and back barrel. Also visible on the bat is an impression from a weighted batting donut and pine tar on the barrel from Santo's hands. There is also a heavy coat of pine tar on the upper handle and a moderate coat on the lower handle. Santo's number "10" is written on the knob in black marker. This nearly perfect example of a Santo gamer is graded by John Taube of PSA/DNA who graded the bat GU 9.
