Giancarlo Stanton's broken Marucci bat comes from the tension of Game 162, when the Yankees squeezed a 1-0 win from Tampa Bay and punched their postseason ticket. Stanton already carried MVP weight into that chapter, with a 2017 NL MVP season built on 59 home runs and 132 RBI. This Authentic Game-Used piece ties his name to October 3, 2021, a date remembered in New York for Aaron Judge's ninth-inning walk-off and the narrowest margin of survival. The broken barrel adds its own evidence of impact, turning a hitter's tool into a competition-worn artifact.
