Absolutely stunning Louisville Slugger Harmon Killebrew signature model S207 bat used by "Killer" to hit the 501st Home Run of his illustrious career which also happened to take place the very same game in which he hit his memorable 500th Home Run as he hit 2 dingers that day. This bat is truly a special one of a kind piece sourced from Harmon Killebrew himself and personally signed, "I Used This Bat to Hit My 501st HR off of Mike Cuellar of Baltimore 8/10/71, Harmon Killebrew." The bat itself measures 35 inches, weighs 32 ounces, and shows exceptional use with ball marks, cleat marks, ball stitch impressions, and has heavy pine tar. The bat remarkably remains uncracked and has a faded #3 on the knob in black marker. You can also still see the pencil markings from where Harmon marked the bat "#501" as he routinely labeled his HR bats with pencil 1st so he could sign them later. Truly one of the finest Harmon Killebrew bats in existence that does not reside in the Hall of Fame. Professionally authenticated and graded by PSA/DNA John Taube a GU 9.5. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication.
