Ryan Howard Marucci Bat Autographed / Signed
Selected in the fifth round of the 2001 draft, Ryan Howard immediately
impressed the Philadelphia Phillies' brass with his bat and glove. As a
result, he quickly jumped from the minors to the Major Leagues, playing
18 games with the Phillies in 2004 before becoming the team's full-time
first baseman in 2005. Howard hit .288 with 22 home runs and 63 RBI in
88 games, winning him 2005 NL Rookie of the Year honors. The Phillies
had such faith in Howard that they traded veteran star Jim Thome,
making Howard their first baseman now and for the future. Howard
rewarded the Phillies for their commitment to him, as he hit .313 with
58 home runs and 149 RBI, played in his first All-Star Game and was
named 2006 NL MVP.
