Dellin Betances’ Historic Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Yankee Legacy
A Momentous Occasion in Yankees History
On September 17th, 2014, the hallowed grounds of Yankee Stadium witnessed a remarkable feat by relief pitcher Dellin Betances. In a game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Betances etched his name into the annals of baseball memorabilia history by setting a new Yankee record for the most strikeouts by a relief pitcher in a single season. With his first strikeout of the inning, Betances surpassed the legendary Mariano Rivera’s record, achieving a staggering 131 strikeouts. This jersey, worn during that iconic game, stands as a symbol of Betances’ prowess and the enduring legacy of the New York Yankees.
