Jose Altuve’s Historic 2017 ALDS Game 1 Jersey
A Legendary Performance in Baseball History
On October 5th, 2017, the baseball world witnessed an extraordinary display of power and skill as Jose Altuve, the 2017 American League MVP and major league batting champion, donned this iconic jersey in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Boston Red Sox. Altuve’s performance was nothing short of legendary, as he hit three home runs, leading the Houston Astros to a commanding 8-2 victory. This remarkable feat marked only the 10th time in MLB history that a player hit three homers in a postseason game, cementing Altuve’s place in the annals of baseball greatness.
Details of the Jersey
This jersey is a testament to Altuve’s prowess on the field. On the front left tail, it features the Majestic manufacturer’s tag size “40” with MLB hologram “JB906270” and Fanatics hologram “AA0020133”. The chest proudly displays “ASTROS,” with the player number “27” below and on the back, accompanied by the player name “ALTUVE.” All numbering and lettering are meticulously crafted in blue on orange tackle twill. The right sleeve bears the “POSTSEASON 2017” patch, while the upper left chest is adorned with the “Houston Strong” patch, symbolizing resilience and unity.
Significance and Authenticity
Adding to its allure, Altuve has signed the back of the jersey inside the “2” in silver marker, with the inscriptions “3 HR 10/5/17 ALDS GM 1” and “2017 AL MVP / WS CHAMPS,” which in our opinion rates a 9.
