Description
Alex Rodriguez 1996 Grand Slam Home Run #2 (HR #7) A-Rod had a career-best six runs batted in this May 17, 1996 game, four of which came on his grand slam blast, but it wasn't enough. In truly madcap fashion, the Mariners gave up a grand slam to the Orioles in the bottom of the ninth, letting the Birds walk-off the field as 14-13 winners. But even a heartbreaking loss like that couldn't dampen the appeal of this OAL (Budig) ball, clubbed over the wall by the young superstar A-Rod to clear the bases in Baltimore. The ball shows wonderful use, and is inscribed in perfect blue ink, "Alex Rodriguez, 1996, Grand Slam ball #2, 5-17-96." This is one of the earliest Alex Rodriguez home run baseballs ever to reach the auction block, and we're quite sure that the only A-Rod grand slam ball to precede this one is lost to the ages. As such, this is a particularly rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own something truly special from the game's greatest athlete. Letter of authenticity is signed by Rodriguez himself. LOA from Dan Knoll & Dave Bushing/SCD Authentic. Additional LOA's James Spence & Steve Grad/PSA DNA and Mike Gutierrez/MGA.Auction Info
