Comments: The appearance of black ball marks indicates probable use during Spring Training. During the era, official National League baseballs were printed with black ink & American League balls with light Blue ink.
The subject bat pre dates inner league play lending to the conclusion of Spring Training use. After a thorough examination of this Rickey Henderson professional model bat and its player use characteristics, it is PSA/DNA's opinion the bat is authentic, and was game used by'Henderson' during the referenced labeling period.
