Acquired through a trade on the Neshek board. I'm "Mauer7" from over there....
Louisville Slugger C243 Blonde Bat. It was likely a hand-me-down to Franklin Guterriez as it has (as I've been told) his tape job on the handle.
The bat has a ton of ball-ink transfers, rack marks, a couple of indented seams, pine-tar..and a solid amount of use overall. It has "25" written on both ends of the bat. "Ryan Garko" and "Cleveland Indians" are both on the barrell. It has a crack between the LS logo and the handle.
I'm not dead set on getting rid of it, but I've noticed a lot of Garko collectors on here...and thought I'd at least offer it up.
I'm looking to sell for around $250 (or make an offer) or would consider a trade for Marlins or Twins GU memorabilia.
