Rawlings model 456B, from the 2001 season, is un-cracked and exhibits evidence of excellent use.  Several ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible on the right, left and back barrel.  Ball marks include blue ink transfers.  The handle has been taped in a criss-cross pattern to enhance the grip.  The model number (456B), the order number (795) and the year (01) are stamped into the knob.  Also on the knob is Ramirez’s number (24) written in black marker and the weight (31 1/2) and (Ramirez) is written in pen.  A Manny Ramirez autograph with player number ’24’ is on the front barrel in black marker. The bat has been graded a PSA GU9. A great bat of the All Star outfielder!
The bat is accompanied by a PSA Letter of Authenticity.
