On May 11, 2003, Rafael Palmiero sent a ball flying over the fence in right field. This well-soiled official MLB Selig ball shows excellent game use. The ball was in fact used in the game, but is not the actual 500th home run ball. It is inscribed with "500 HR", "GAME USED", and is signed by Palmeiro in blue pen. The ball has a numbered MLB hologram, which correlates with the included LOA from the Texas Rangers. The signature rates a strong 8 and comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
