For two decades, George Brett was one of the best hitters in baseball, hitting .300 or better eleven times, and becoming the first player in history to win a batting title in each of three decades – 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Appearing in 11 consecutive All Star games, Brett will forever be remembered for the fabled "Pine Tar Incident" on July 24, 1983, started by an appeal of Brett's characteristic use of pine tar on his bats. Brett finished his career with three batting championships, a Most Valuable Player Award (1980), a World Championship (1985) and election into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.
This model B351 bat was manufactured by H & B and appears in Brett's personal H & B records as having been shipped to him multiple times in 1992 and 1993. The bat measures 33.75 inches in length and weighs approximately 32 ounces. The bat has a slightly displaced wood crack approximately 12 inches from the knob, extending approximately 4 inches toward the center. Brett's famous characteristic application of pine tar begins at a heavily caked knob, extending 6 inches down the handle. Similar application is evidenced approximately 11.5 inches from the knob, and extends approximately 12 inches into the center label.
Additional evidence of game use include many ball marks and stitch marks on the right and back barrel, cleat marks, blue rack marks, and the impression from a weighted bat donut.
This bat has been signed by Brett on the sweet spot in black Sharpie. Clear and unhurried, the 2.5 inch signature reads "George Brett 1992."
This is a remarkable bat used by Kansas City Royals fans' favorite Hall of Fame player. You will not find a more characteristic example of a George Brett game used bat in the entire hobby. This bat is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from
