    Description

    This is an extremely rare Bo Jackson Chicago White Sox Broken Bat that he broke in 1993 vs. the Chicago Cubs...the game is often referred to as the Crosstown Classic. The bat shows a ton of game use (pine tar, ball marks, etc.)! It's an awesome two tone color, Louisville Slugger J113 and his faded number 8 can be seen on the end of the bat. It's a little hard to pick up in the photo but it's definitely there. Back before the internet and eBay, I use to run a weekly ad (for years) in The Sports Collectors Digest… “Looking for Bo Jackson Collectibles.” They actually did a feature article on my collection in the publication which helped me get a lot of good Bo leads. One day I received a call from a firefighter in Chicago who was a big Sox fan and we got to discussing my collection. He went on to tell me about his friend who worked inside the players area. Long story short, I contacted the guy and we began communicating. Not long after being introduced, I was watching a Sox game on WGN (which I happened to be recording on VHS) and Bo hit a ball back to the mound and the barrel of the bat bat flew over the pitcher's head. Shortly after the game I received a call from my contact saying he had both pieces of the bat which I quickly acquired. I was able to match the bat with no problem. He ended up being a great source for many of my Sox items. I've had this bat for 27 years and am happy to pass it along to another big Bo collector so they can enjoy as much as I have... I know you'll love it!! As I mentioned above I did record the game. I will provide on a flash drive the video of Bo's entire at bat for the winning bidder. I will also include on the flash drive the screenshots that are depicted. This is an extremely rare opportunity to get a Bo gamer with video proof. Thanks and Good Luck!
