Here is another of my favorite game used modern era bats that I have in my personal collection:
This is a great Pudge Rodriguez (HOF) 1993 game used Cooper bat that has terrific game use. Check out the cleat marks!

FYI, Pudge was Nolan Ryan's personal catcher in 1993 when he caught Nolan's final strikeout on 9/17/93 @ Anaheim and final win on 8/15/93 at CLE.

I was lucky enough to be sitting directly behind home plate and witnessed Nolan's final strikeout, who for the record, was Greg Myers (C) for the Angels in '93.

Pudge signed and inscribed this bat for me & it's part of my collection of Nolan's career milestone catchers.
I have signed game bats with inscriptions for these following milestone catchers:

John Stephenson- Nolan Ryan's 1st strikeout catcher-1966
Jerry Grote- Nolan Ryan's 1st win catcher-1968
