Dave Parker Game Used Cooper Pro 100 Bat (Greenshields Collection)

A Cooper Pro 100 professional model bat attributed to game use by Dave Parker, one of the most dominant hitters of his era and a cornerstone of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The bat exhibits strong signs of authentic game use, including visible ball marks, surface wear, and consistent handling characteristics. The player name and model stamping (“Dave Parker – C243”) remain clearly legible, matching known professional specifications. The knob is marked with the number “39,” corresponding to Parker’s uniform number, further supporting its use at the professional level.

Nicknamed “The Cobra,” Parker was a two-time batting champion, 1978 National League MVP, and a key contributor to the Pirates’ 1979 World Series championship. His game-used equipment remains highly collectible among vintage baseball enthusiasts.
