Hillerich & Bradsby model R161, from the 1974-1975 season, displays excellent use with a handle crack.  Several ball marks are visible on the right and back barrel.  Cleat marks can be seen on the left and back barrel.  Also visible on the barrel are red and blue bat rack streaks.  There is a moderate coat of pine tar on lower and upper handle.  Cedeno’s player number (28) is written on the knob and top of the barrel in red marker.  The model number (R161) is stamped into the knob and the weight (35 3/8) is written on the knob in pencil.  A Cesar Cedeno autograph with the added inscription “To Gary Best Wishes” is on the front barrel in black. The bat has been graded a PSA GU9.  A great bat of the Astros All Star outfielder!

The bat is accompanied by a PSA Letter of Authenticity and a letter from the 1974-1975 Cincinnati Reds visiting clubhouse batboy.
