Bernie Williams Rawlings signature-model ("DW20") bat dating from the 2001 season. Graded GU 10 by PSA/DNA. The cupped-end bat, which is not cracked, displays evidence of outstanding use, including ball marks and ball stitch impressions (including blue ink transfers and white-leather scuffs). The model number ("DW20"), order number ("233"), and year ("01") are stamped on the knob. Williams has signed the barrel in "Bernie Williams/Game Used" in silver marker.

In addition to helping lead the Yankees to four World Championships, Williams appeared in five All-Star Games and won four Gold Glove Awards. In 2015, the Yankees honored Williams by retiring his uniform number (No. 51) and dedicating a plaque to him in Monument Park. Length: 34.5 inches. Weight: 32.7 ounces. Full LOAs from PSA/DNA and Steiner Sports (corresponding stickers affixed to the handle and barrel). Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
