10/6/2007 Joba Chamberlain Rookie NY Yankees “Bug Game” ALDS Game-Used & Autographed Road Jersey

Joba Chamberlain’s 2007 Yankees Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Electrifying Debut

In the summer of 2007, the New York Yankees introduced a promising young pitcher, Joba Chamberlain, to the Major Leagues. His debut was nothing short of spectacular, as he struck out the first batter he faced and delivered two scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays. His fastball was a force to be reckoned with, clocking in at an impressive 100 mph on television radar guns and 99 mph in the stadium. Chamberlain’s slider, consistently registering at 87 mph, added to his formidable arsenal, making him a rising star in the world of baseball memorabilia.

The Infamous “Bug Game”

Chamberlain’s rookie season was marked by an unforgettable moment during Game Two of the 2007 ALDS against the Cleveland Indians. As he pitched in the bottom of the eighth inning with the Yankees leading 1-0, a swarm of insects descended upon Jacobs Field. Despite being sprayed with insecticide, the bugs persisted, leading to a wild pitch that allowed Grady Sizemore to advance and eventually score the tying run. The Indians went on to win the game 2-1 and ultimately the series, but the “Bug Game” remains a memorable chapter in Chamberlain’s career.
