Signature model R161 used by Wade Boggs during his rookie season of 1982 has "26" (Boggs number) written on the knob in black marker. All of the manufacturers stamps are bold and distinct. The bat comprised of top quality white ash is uncracked and exhibits light use evidenced mostly by rack marks. Wade Boggs played in 104 games with the Red Sox during his rookie season of 1982. During that time the team became fully aware of his unique hitting abilities as the young Boggs blistered American League pitching at a .349 clip. That would only serve as a foreshadow of things to come however as he followed that up with a .361 average the following year capturing the first of his five batting titles. Boggs eventually finished his career as one of the games all time greatest hitters amassing over 3000 hits and posting a lifetime average of .328. An extremely rare rookie era bat belonging to one of the finest hitters of the modern era and a certain future Hall of Famer. Length: 34" Weight: 31 oz.
