Roberto Clemente bat going up for auction

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Pirates fans, you're going to soon have the chance to own a piece of Pirates history. 

A Roberto Clemente bat, used during the 1971 season, is set to head to auction late next month. 

Not only is it a game-used Clemente bat, but it's signed by the legend himself. 

"The bat is instantly recognizable as a Clemente, sporting his trademark knobless handle and Ruthian dimensions of thirty-six inches (36") of length and thirty-five and a half ounces (35.5 oz.) of weight," Heritage Auctions said about the bat on its website. 

The bat comes with a letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA, has the highest possible grade of GU 10, and includes a photo of the 15-time All-Star holding it while posing against a backdrop of an empty Three Rivers Stadium. 

Now, this won't be an easy auction to win for Pirates fans as it is expected to fetch at least $250,000.
