In 1988, Jose Canseco became the first player in major league history to hit at least 40 homers and steal at least 40 bases in the same year by hitting 42 home runs and stealing 40 bases.. Canseco was unanimously named the American League's Most Valuable Player that season with a .307 batting average, 120 runs scored, 134 runs batted in, 42 home runs, and 40 stolen bases. He was a six- time All Star and Rookie of the Year in 1986. He played on two World Championship teams, the 1989 A's and the 2000 Yankees. He retired following the 2001 season, leaving with 462 career home runs and 200 career stolen bases. Canseco has become somewhat of a cult hero among collectors following his outspoken public discussions surrounding the use of steroids in baseball.
This Cooper Pro 100 model C243 bat is 35 inches in length and weighs approximately 32 ounces, displaying labeling consistent with bats manufactured by Cooper from the late 1980s into the early 1990s. This bat exhibits significant game use, with ball marks, hit marks, and rack marks over the barrel area. Moderate pine tar residue is present on the handle, extending approximately 12 inches from the knob. A very slight crack is present on the handle, approximately 2 inches above the Cooper tri-colored band and extending through it. The wood is not displaced, and the slight crack is difficult to see. It does not affect the display quality of this bat at all. This bat represents a solid example of a Jose Canseco game used Cooper bat of the period.View Lot Detail page
