He is one player that ordered tons and tons of bats, and used almost every brand, so there are a lot of his bats out there. I still like collecting him though. Juiced or not, he's still one of the best catchers of all time.
Nate,
No doubt that Pudge is one of the greatest catchers of all-time!
I whole heartedly agree.

Here is my Pudge Rodriguez bat from 1993. Check out the heavy use, tape job on the handle, cleat marks on the barrel and inscription- "Nolan Ryan's last win & strikeout catcher". I love this bat!
