Cincinnati Reds Joey Votto Mini Souvenir Bat Louisville Slugger Museum 2017 MLB

For sale is a Cincinnati Reds Joey Votto Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory souvenir mini baseball bat. Color Black with Silver engraving. Measures 18 inches long. On March 31, 2017, the Cincinnati Reds played an exhibition game against the minor league Louisville Bats at Louisville Slugger Field in Louisville, Kentucky. To commemorate this event, the nearby Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory gave away this limited special-edition Joey Votto souvenir bat to the first 250 factory tour guests on that day. The official release from the museum read: "The special-edition bats are noticeably larger than the standard mini-bat that comes with factory tour admission. The bats are 18-inches long and feature Cincinnati's iconic 'C' logo and Votto's signature. On Friday, the first 250 guests will receive a collectable black and silver souvenir bat similar to the first baseman's M356 bat model coloring." Bat is brand new and has been kept in safe storage since its acquisition. It was never put on display and has no damage. There is the slightest instance of light scuffing at the head of the bat on the back side (not the face side), which is only noticeable if you're examining the bat close up looking for imperfections. I have done my best to illustrate this minor issue in the last picture of this listing. Bat otherwise looks beautiful and in perfect condition.
