Alex Rodriguez is considered one of the best all-around baseball players of all time. He is the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs, breaking the record Jimmie Foxx set in 1939, and the youngest to hit 600, besting Babe Ruth's record by over a year. Rodriguez has fourteen 100-RBI seasons in his career, more than any player in history. A-Rod is a fourteen-time All-Star, ten-time Silver Slugger Award winner, three-time AL MVP and in 2009, won his first World Championship as a member of the NY Yankees.This jersey is photomatched to A-Rod hitting his first home run at the new Yankee Stadium on May 16, 2009. It was a walk off HR in the 11th inning to beat the Twins. On the left front tail is the “Majestic” manufacturer’s tag. Attached are four flag tags, “2009”, “48”, “Taper” and “+1” Body”. On the left chest is the team interlocking “NY” logo. Player number “13” appears on back. All numbers and letters are done in navy tackle twill. On the left sleeve is the “2009 Yankee Stadium Inaugural Season” patch. At the back of the neck is the official MLB embroidered logo patch. Alex has signed the front, a large and bold signature in black marker adding the inscription “#13 Game Used 2009” rating a 9. The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows light use. Accompanied by a LOA from Alex Rodriguez as well as a LOA from JSA.
