A key cog in the Yankee dynasty at the end of the millennium was slugging first baseman Tino Martinez. The smooth lefty swinger had at least 25 homers and 100 ribbies in every season but one from 1995-2001 during which New York celebrated four World Series in five seasons. In 1998, Tino batted .281 with 28 HR and 123 RBI as the Yanks cruised to another championship after sweeping the Padres in the Fall Classic.
Tino's offered Louisville Slugger B349 professional model bat with a cupped end (34.25", 33 oz.) shows heavy game use and remains un-cracked from the '98 season. Ball contact, bat rack and cleat marks adorn the barrel along with Tino's autograph and "1998 World Champs" inscription in blue marker. There is a light coat of pine tar on the upper handle. Great gamer from a well-respected, and often underappreciated Yankee great.
Includes Steiner LOA signed by Martinez as well as a Steiner COA. Autograph pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
