Description
2012 Miguel Cabrera Home Run #298 Game Worn Detroit Tigers Jersey from Triple Crown Season, MLB Authentic. Years, even decades, passed before the Triple Crown was realized again. Carl Yastrzemski struck gold in 1967 when he paced the Junior Circuit in batting average, home runs and runs batted in. Every few years a player would spawn talk of gaining inclusion into baseball's most exclusive fraternity. But, inevitably, their efforts would fall by the wayside. Injures, an extended slump or the long grind of a full baseball season have to be avoided if someone is going to even think about winning all three categories.In 2012, Miguel Cabrera was steady and solid as ever as he made his move. The entire baseball world took notice as the season was winding down and Cabrera was atop all three offensive categories. His .330 average, 44 home runs and 139 RBIs allowed him to join the ranks of Cobb, Hornsby, Gehrig, Medwick, Ted Williams, Mantle, Frank Robinson among a few others in baseball history. Following his career, Cabrera's final resting place will be in Cooperstown. Anything related to his magical season gains instant traction. Well, this "Majestic size 50" jersey is a winner in several aspects. Authentication is secured with an MLB hologram (EK 077747). We checked the MLB database and the Dri-fit road jersey is listed as: "Game-used Jersey Batter - Miguel Cabrera game used jersey worn on July 19, 2012, LA Angels @ Detroit." The hologram is affixed to the backside of the "Cool Base" side tag. Cabrera finished the game with a home run in four plate appearances. It was Cabrera's 298th home run.
Worth special mention are the initials "JGS" written by longtime equipment staffer Jim Schmackel on the Majestic size label. Schmackel has provided his initials on Tigers gamers from as far back as the 1980's as a way of authenticating game-worn jerseys.
The button-up jersey shows good overall use with slight rippling on the single-color tackle twill identifiers. The Tigers unmistakable team insignia is on front while "Cabrera 24" is featured on the reverse. The tail includes a rubberized Majestic size label (Schmackel's initials) and "24 50 '12 456" swatch which denotes player number, size, year and inventory number. Majestic's "0630" tag is secured inside. MLB Authentic EK 077747.
