Terry Pendleton Game Used Louisville Slugger Bat (Greenshields Collection)

A Louisville Slugger professional model bat attributed to game use by Terry Pendleton, National League MVP and key member of the Atlanta Braves during their dominant 1990s run.

The bat displays heavy and convincing signs of game use, including numerous ball marks, surface wear, and a well-developed handle area. Notably, the bat is cracked, a common occurrence in professional use and further supporting its in-game characteristics. The knob is marked with the number “9,” matching Pendleton’s uniform number during his playing career, an additional indicator of clubhouse use.

Pendleton was a central figure in the Braves’ resurgence, earning the 1991 National League MVP award and helping lead the club to multiple postseason appearances.

Authentication & Provenance

Condition
Heavy use throughout with visible ball marks, surface wear, and handle wear. The bat is cracked but remains intact, consistent with professional in-game use.
