An Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez game used baseball bat from when he played for the Texas Rangers. Pudge is well known to baseball fans, as his MLB career lasted for two decades (1991-2011). He is regarded as one of the best defensive catchers of all time and is generally considered a shoo-in for the Baseball Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible for a HoF nomination in 2017. Pudge played for the Rangers from 1991-2002 and again in 2009, but he's also known for winning the World Series with the Marlins in 2003, and his last two years in the major leagues were with the Washington Nationals. This Cooper bat is from sometime during his original stint with the Rangers. Unfortunately, it is not authenticated/certified, although the original owner says they sourced their bats from an equipment manager who worked for the Rangers.
