Masahiro Tanaka’s 2017 ALCS Game 5 Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Performance

In the annals of baseball history, few performances stand out as vividly as Masahiro Tanaka’s masterful display during Game 5 of the 2017 American League Championship Series. Pitching for the New York Yankees, Tanaka delivered a stellar performance against the formidable Houston Astros, leading his team to a decisive 5-0 victory. Over seven innings, Tanaka allowed only three hits, struck out eight batters, and did not concede a single run, effectively neutralizing the Astros’ ace, Dallas Keuchel.

The Jersey of a Champion

Offered in this exclusive lot is the very jersey worn by Tanaka during this unforgettable playoff gem. The jersey is a testament to his prowess on the mound and is adorned with several distinctive features:

• Manufacturer’s Tag: The front left tail bears the Majestic manufacturer’s tag, size “52”, accompanied by a Steiner hologram with serial number “272435”.
• Team and MLB Authentication: Adjacent to the tag is a Yankees team inventory barcode and an MLB hologram with serial number “JB769925”.
• Memorial and Postseason Patches: The left sleeve features a black memorial band in honor of Gene Michael, while the right sleeve proudly displays the “POSTSEASON 2017” patch.
• Iconic Yankees Branding: The left chest showcases the Yankees’ interlocking “NY” logo, with the player number “19” across the back, all in navy blue tackle twill.

This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used in game five of the ALCS, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from Steiner and a Photo-Match.com LOA confirming the match.
