'I had totally forgotten': Autographed Michael Jordan bat rediscovered in car trunk 26 years later

Posted Sep 27, 2020
The autographed baseball bat was neglected and forgotten, sitting in a car trunk for 13 years, and never displayed in a home. It’s a Louisville Slugger, model C-271, 34 inches, 32 ounces, with a light coat of pine tar on the lower handle. It also happens to be autographed by Michael Jordan. It’s the bat he used to produce two hits in an Arizona Fall League game in 1994. (USA Today)
