Mark McGwire was named Rookie of the Year in 1987 after a spectacular first season performance that included setting a rookie record of 49 home runs. As his career progressed it soon became obvious that McGwire was destined to become one of baseball's all time great power hitters. All doubts were laid to rest when he shattered Roger Maris' single season record in 1998 hitting an unbelievable 70 home runs. This. This uncracked professional model bat manufactured by Rawlings dates from that most extraordinary landmark season. It displays a number of ideal usage characteristics including numerous ball marks above the label. Handle preparation is evidenced at the knob and extending approximately 5 ½. Significant pine tar application is seen extending past the pro ring and into the center label. The bat is 34.5 inches in length and weighs approximately 33 ounces. The knob has characteristic Rawlings stampings of model (MAC25) batch code (289) and year code (98.) Additionally McGwires name and the weight of this bat are written in ball point pen on the knob.
