Harold Baines Game Used Rawlings Adirondack Big Stick Personal Model Bat (Greenshields Collection)

A Rawlings Adirondack Big Stick personal model bat attributed to game use by Hall of Famer Harold Baines, one of the premier leadoff hitters of his era and a key contributor to multiple postseason teams.

The bat displays clear evidence of professional use, including visible surface wear, finish loss, and handling characteristics consistent with game action. The black factory finish shows notable wear throughout, with exposed wood along the barrel and handle. A handle crack is present, a common result of repeated professional use.

The bat is stamped “Big Stick – Harold Baines – Personal Model,” indicating a pro-style Adirondack model, though the stamping variation should be noted when considering player attribution.

Baines enjoyed a distinguished 23-year Major League career, earning seven All-Star selections and later induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019. Widely regarded as one of the greatest leadoff hitters in baseball history, he combined elite on-base ability with speed and consistency.
