Description

Black Louisville Slugger bat personalized with the inscription: “Josh Best Wishes Tony Gwynn #19 3141.” The number 3,141 refers to Gwynn’s final career hit total, a testament to his remarkable consistency and dedication at the plate. Over 10,232 plate appearances, Gwynn struck out just 434 times—averaging one strikeout every 23.6 trips to the plate. Between 1984 and 1997, he finished in the top five in batting average 13 times and claimed eight National League batting titles. This bat stands as both a heartfelt personal keepsake and a powerful symbol of a career defined by precision, poise, and respect for the game.

Disclaimer: Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight the award’s authenticity as a career artifact. This item features a silver OVD, verifying its authenticity through the Tony Gwynn Estate. A TRuEST™ authenticator was not on-site to witness its awarding, which is why this item does not carry our gold-level witness-based authentication OVD.
