David Robertson’s Game-Worn Yankees Jersey: A Piece of Playoff History
A Memorable Performance
In the annals of baseball history, certain moments stand out for their sheer drama and impact. One such moment occurred on October 3, 2017, during the American League Wild Card game. The New York Yankees faced off against the Minnesota Twins, and it was here that relief pitcher David Robertson etched his name into the postseason lore. Called upon in the third inning after a shaky start by Luis Severino, Robertson delivered a masterful performance, pitching 3.1 innings, striking out five batters, and not allowing a single run. His efforts were instrumental in securing an 8-4 victory for the Yankees, propelling them further into the playoffs.
The Jersey’s Unique Features
This remarkable jersey, worn by Robertson during that pivotal game, is a testament to his outstanding contribution. The front left tail of the jersey features a Yankees team inventory barcode tag, alongside an MLB hologram serial number “JB713825” and a Steiner hologram serial number “256804.” These details authenticate the jersey’s significance and its connection to that unforgettable game.
- Material and Tags: The jersey is made of 100% polyester, with flag tags indicating “TAPER” and “-2” body adjustments.
- Memorial and Postseason Patches: The left sleeve bears a black memorial band honoring Gene Michael, while the right sleeve proudly displays the “POSTSEASON 2017” patch.
- Iconic Yankees Branding: The left chest features the interlocking “NY” logo, and the back showcases Robertson’s player number “30,” all in navy blue tackle twill.
On the rear collar, the official “MLB” logo is elegantly embroidered in navy blue, silver, and white, further enhancing the jersey’s authenticity and appeal.
