J.D. Drew started his career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1998. Drew was traded to the Atlanta Braves in December 2003, where he had the best season of his career while finally managing to stay healthy. In 2004, he displayed excellent power, patience, and defense, hitting .305 with 31 home runs, 118 walks, and 96 RBI, finishing 6th in the MVP voting. Now with the Red Sox, Drew was part of a set of four consecutive home runs this year with Manny Ramirez, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek. He is the only player to participate twice in a string of four straight home runs, and, oddly enough, he was the second player to go deep in each instance. He is a career .284 hitter.
This bat was manufactured in 2007 by Hillerich and Bradsby, and used by Drew until broken. It is a block letter model C243, measuring 34 inches in length and weighing approximately 32 ounces. Drew's uniform number, 7, is written both on the knob and in the cupped barrel end in black marker. This bat exhibits heavy use with ball marks, hit marks, and rack marks present on the barrel. A medium application of pine tar is seen extending approximately 7 inches from the knob. This bat has sustained a severe break approximately 9 inches in length, with the wood significantly displaced for approximately 4 inches. The crack is currently held together with tape, applied at the time of the break.
The bat is sourced from Steiner Sports #08916, and bears both the Steiner and the MLB holograms.View Lot Detail page
