Mariano Rivera’s Final Fenway Park Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Career Culminates

Mariano Rivera, often hailed as the greatest relief pitcher in baseball history, graced the mound with unparalleled skill and poise. Over his illustrious career, Rivera secured five World Series Championships and was named the World Series MVP in 1999. His record for the most saves in Major League Baseball (MLB) remains unchallenged, and his five-time recognition as the American League Rolaids Relief Man Award winner cements his legacy as a dominant force in the game.

The Fenway Farewell

On September 15, 2013, Rivera made his final appearance at the iconic Fenway Park. Although he did not pitch in this particular game, the event was marked by a heartfelt farewell from the Boston Red Sox, who presented him with gifts in recognition of his remarkable career. The jersey he wore on the bench that day is a testament to this memorable occasion.

Details of the Jersey

This jersey, a symbol of Rivera’s storied career, is adorned with the classic “NEW YORK” across the front and his iconic player number “42” on the back. Both are crafted in navy blue on white tackle twill, sewn directly onto the grey fabric. Above the player number, the official MLB logo is embroidered on the rear collar, adding an official touch to this historic piece.

• Authentication: The tag is accompanied by MLB hologram sticker “510098EK” and Steiner Sports hologram sticker “200869”.
• Material: A tag on the left inseam indicates the jersey is made of “100% POLYESTER” with washing instructions.
