Alex Rodriguez’s Historic Jersey: A Piece of Baseball Legacy

An Iconic Moment in Baseball History

Alex Rodriguez, often hailed as one of the greatest all-around baseball players, has left an indelible mark on the sport. His remarkable achievements include being the youngest player to hit both 500 and 600 home runs, surpassing legends like Jimmie Foxx and Babe Ruth. With fourteen 100-RBI seasons, Rodriguez stands unmatched in baseball history. His illustrious career is adorned with accolades, including fourteen All-Star selections, ten Silver Slugger Awards, and three AL MVP titles. In 2009, he achieved the pinnacle of success by winning his first World Championship with the New York Yankees.

A Jersey with a Story

This particular jersey is a testament to Rodriguez’s legendary career. It is photomatched to the momentous occasion when A-Rod hit his first home run at the new Yankee Stadium on May 16, 2009. This walk-off home run in the 11th inning secured a victory against the Twins, etching the jersey into the annals of baseball history.

• Manufacturer’s Tag: The left front tail features the “Majestic” manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by four flag tags: “2009”, “48”, “Taper”, and “+1 Body”.
• Team Insignia: The iconic interlocking “NY” logo graces the left chest, while the player number “13” is prominently displayed on the back, all crafted in navy tackle twill.
• Commemorative Patch: The left sleeve bears the “2009 Yankee Stadium Inaugural Season” patch, and the official MLB embroidered logo patch adorns the back of the neck.
• Signature and Inscription: Alex Rodriguez’s bold signature, inscribed with “#13 Game Used 2009,” graces the front, rated a 9 for its clarity and prominence.

The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows light use. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from Alex Rodriguez and another from JSA, further enhancing its value and authenticity.
