This black finished 32 1/2-inch, approximately 31-ounce bat was manufactured by Rawlings for professional use by Tony Gwynn upon his selection to the 1993 All Star Team..This selection marked his ninth selection to the NL squad. He ended his career as a 15-time All Star.
This bat has commonly seen Rawlings All Star markings of the period. The barrel label reads as follows:
1993 ALL STAR TONY GWYNN PADRES
The knob of this bat is stamped as follows:
279H TG
This uncracked bat is in mint condition. Gwynn did not use this bat, rather he personally had it signed at the game by 28 members of the National League All Star Team in gold paint pen, both medium point and fine point. Signatures on this bat include the following 1993 All Stars:Tony Gwynn, Bob Gibson (Honarary Captain), Steve Avery, Jay Bell, Andy Benes, Barry Bonds, John Burkett, Andres Gallaraga, Tom Glavine, Mark Grace, Marquis Grissom, Bryan Harvey, Dave Hollins, Roberto Kelly, Darryl Kile, Terry Mulholland, Ryne Sandberg, Gary Sheffield, Lee Smith, John Smoltz, and Robby Thompson, with seven others for a total of 28 signaturres. (Actually there is a 29th signature that was done in black Sharpie on the balck lacquered finish and is nearly impossible to see.)
Tony Gwynn was statistically one of the best and most consistent hitters in baseball history. He played his entire 20-year career (1982???2001) for the San Diego Padres. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on January 9, 2007 .Gwynn made a name for himself by being one of the most consistent contact hitters in the history of the game ??? unbelievably he struck out only 434 times in 9,288 career at-bats, and never batted below .309 in any full season, although he hit .289 in his rookie season. Between 1984 and 1997 he won eight batting titles, tying him with Rogers Hornsby for the most ever by a National League player. In 1994 Gwynn batted .394, the highest batting average in the National League since Bill Terry hit .401 in 1930 and the highest in the majors since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941. Had the 1994 season not been shortened by a strike, Gwynn would have had the chance to become the first batter to eclipse the magical .400 mark in more than 50 years. In the end, Gwynn fell three hits short of the .400 mark in the shortened season.
This is an uncommon opportunity to obtain a rare momento for your collection from one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. This bat was originally sourced from Gwynn's former agent. View Lot Detail page
