Marucci model RH6, from the 2008 season, displays evidence of outstanding use with a handle crack that has been secured with a piece of tape. Many ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible on all sides of the barrel. Ball marks include blue ink transfers and white leather scuffs. Cleat marks can be seen on the right, left and back barrel. There is a heavy coat of Mota Stick on the handle. The date of manufacture (3/31/08), Howard’s number (6), length (5) and weight (4.2) are stamped into the knob. Howard’s number (6) is also written on the top barrel in silver marker. A Ryan Howard signature is on the front barrel in gold marker. The bat has been authenticated by MLB Authentication Services and their hologram (FJ343385) is affixed to the barrel.  The subject bat has been graded PSA GU9.  A great bat of the Phillies All Star MVP!
