Near the tip of the barrel is “GENUINE K55 / Dave Winfield / Louisville Slugger.” Written in black marker at the center of the barrel of the bat, between the company logo and the manufactured inscribed signature is “D Winfield / 3,110 Hits.” Winfield's uniform number "31" is written in black marker on the top of the knob.
