A choice piece for the Judge collector, offered here is a Rawlings official Major League (Manfred) baseball that was used in play during the April 10, 2017 Opening Day game between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays in Yankee Stadium. En route to a dominant 8-1 victory of the Rays, Yankee fans were witness to the start of one of the most prolific rookie seasons in baseball history, as Aaron Judge would go 2-for-4 in this game, including hitting his first of what would become a record-setting 52 home runs that season! The ball exhibits obvious uniform soiling from in-game usage but is otherwise fine. Judge has penned a choice blue ballpoint pen autograph on the sweet spot, thus capping off this awesome autographed game used momento. Accompanied by a serial-numbered authentication hologram from MLB Authentication to guarantee game usage, and a COA from PSA/DNA to guarantee the autograph.
