Terry Steinbach played for 14 years in the major leagues from 1986 to 1999. He was the starting catcher for Oakland Athletics teams that won three straight American League pennants from 1988 to 1990, and the World Series in 1989. After leaving the A's following his career year in 1996, he played his last three years with the Minnesota Twins.He was elected to the American League All-Star team 3 times (1988, 1989 and 1993). Although his 1988 selection was highly controversial because Steinbach had posted modest numbers in the first half of the season, he accounted for both AL runs with a home run and sacrifice fly, and was named the game's MVP. He finished his career with a .271 barring average, 162 home runs, and 745 RBIs.
This bat was manufactured by Cooper and has what is commonly referred to as the Cooper narrow label, seen from 1986 into the 1990's. This bat is specific to 1986, Steinbach's rookie season with the Oakland A's and was originally sourced from one of Terry's teammates that season. This bat measures 34 inches in length and weighs approximately 31.5 ounces, consistent with the Cooper knob stamping. This bat exhibits significant game use with numerous hit marks, ball marks, rack marks, and pine tar residue, along with his uniform number 36 written on the knob. This bat has a piece of wood missing ( 11" x 1.5") along the grain directly opposite the labeling, thus unseen when the bat is displayed. Additionally, there is a crack along the grain line into the center label that is approximately 7 inches in length but non-displaced, affecting the display quality of this bat only very slightly.
This bat fills a need in the collections of Steinbach fans (Rookie Year), A's collectors, and World Series collectors. View Lot Detail page
