Rawlings official Major League (Manfred) baseball, nicely hand signed across the sweet spot by the Cubs ace in blue ballpoint pen. This particular baseball was used in play on August 4th, 2015 in a game between the Cubs and Pirates in Pittsburgh, with Arrieta dominating for 9 innings for a 5-0 shutout victory. Aside from obvious scuffing and soiling from game usage the ball stands in fine condition. A serial-numbered MLB Authentication hologram is affixed to the ball to confirm game usage, and Arrieta's autograph is validated by a COA from the experts at PSA/DNA.
