Alex Rodriguez made history on June 12th, 2012 when he blasted his 23rd career grand slam off Atlanta Braves pitcher Jonny Venters at Turner Field in Atlanta tying him with Lou Gehrig and the all-time grand slam list. Rodriguez’s 10th home run of the season and 639th of his career, also tied the game at four apiece as the Braves had built a 4-0 lead through the first seven innings. The Yankees would add two more runs in the eighth inning to beat Atlanta 6-4.

This baseball comes with a signed LOA from Alex Rodriguez attesting that this is the ball that he hit for his grand slam record-tying home run.
