A first-round draft pick and face of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise for 10 seasons, perennial All-Star, MVP candidate and three-time Gold Glove recipient Evan Longoria wielded and autographed this Louisville Slugger “I13” (33-1/2”, 30.9-oz) signature model weapon during the 2014 campaign. Graded GU 10 by PSA/DNA, the uncracked white ash lumber shows outstanding game use with ball, cleat, bat-rack and stitch marks throughout, as well as transposed OML ball stampings and minimal grain swelling on the hitting surface. The handle is home to light pine-tar residue, while the knob features a decal with Longoria’s familiar number “3.” Between the center brand and barrel stampings, Longoria has signed in blue marker (“9-10” strength) and inscribed “game used 2014.” Accompanying is a full photo LOA from John Taube, PSA/DNA (attesting to game use), as well as an auction LOA from JSA (for autograph).
