A-Rod started off his 2000 home run log with a 4th inning solo blast off Boston’s John Wasdin. Rodriguez would hit 40 more that season to add to his eventual career total of 696. This Louisville Slugger Pro Model bat was used by A-Rod for that premier homer of 2000. The bat shows good game use with several ball marks visible on the barrel – one of which being from the home run off Wasdin. The handle has a light coat of pine tar, and the knob has Rodriguez’s number “3” handwritten in silver marker. To commemorate the occasion, the Seattle slugger has signed the barrel and inscribed, “HR #1 2000 Game Used” in silver ink. This bat comes with a LOA from Alex Rodriguez and a LOA from PSA/DNA who have graded this bat a perfect GU 10.
