B45 model 243C, from the 2011 season, is un-cracked and exhibits evidence of excellent use. Several ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible on the front and left barrel. Ball marks include blue ink transfers. Also visible on the bat are black streaks from contact with other bats and an impression from a weighted batting donut. The handle has been taped approximately 7″ in a spiral pattern and there is a moderate coat of pine tar on the upper handle.  The length and weight (34/31) are written on the top barrel in black ink. Romine’s number (16) is written on the knob in black marker.  An Austin Romine signature is on the front barrel also in black marker. The bat has been authenticated by MLB Authentication Services from the 2011 All Star Futures Game on July 10, 2011, and their hologram (FJ742556) is affixed to the front barrel.   A great bat of the Yankees infielder!

The bat is accompanied by a PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity.
