2002 Alex Rodriguez Texas Rangers Game-Issued & Autographed Alternate Jersey
Alex Rodriguez’s Texas Rangers Jersey: A Testament to Baseball Excellence
An Iconic Piece of Baseball Memorabilia
In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the sport’s history and the prowess of its players like a game-issued jersey. This particular jersey, associated with the legendary Alex Rodriguez, is a remarkable artifact that speaks volumes about his time with the Texas Rangers. Crafted with precision, it features the Majestic manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, accompanied by a flag tag indicating the size “50”. The left inseam bears a flag tag with jersey materials and washing instructions, ensuring authenticity and care.
Design and Craftsmanship
The jersey’s design is a tribute to the Texas Rangers’ vibrant spirit. Across the chest, “TEXAS” is emblazoned in white and grey on blue on red tackle twill, a striking combination that commands attention. The back of the jersey proudly displays the player name “RODRIGUEZ” on a blue nameplate, with the iconic number “3” beneath, both rendered in white on blue on red tackle twill. This meticulous craftsmanship is further accentuated by the official “MLB” logo on the back collar, symbolizing the jersey’s connection to Major League Baseball.
A Signature of Greatness
Adding to the jersey’s allure is Alex Rodriguez’s signature on the back, inscribed in black marker with the added note, “57 HR”. This signature, in our opinion, rates a 6.5, offering a tangible connection to Rodriguez’s remarkable achievements on the field. The left sleeve features the state of Texas flag logo patch, a nod to the team’s heritage, with a Majestic logo embroidered below, completing the ensemble.
