New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka wore this jersey during the Yankees 7-5 home victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on July 4th, 2015. Tanaka started this game, pitching six innings of three-run ball in a no-decision. Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann powered the Yankee offense, with Teixeira driving in four runs and McCann three.
As this jersey was worn on July 4th, it is Independence Day themed, with an American flag patch sewn on the right sleeve. The Yankees interlocking “NY” logo is sewn on the left breast in star-filled tackle twill. Tanaka’s number “19” is sewn on the back of the jersey in similar tackle twill. A MLB logo is sewn on the back outside collar of this white, pinstriped, button down jersey. A Majestic Authentic tag with attached “2015” and size “52” flags is sewn on the front left tail of the jersey. Tanaka signed the “9” digit on the back of the jersey in silver marker, adding his number “19” to his signature. This item comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (AB00347) for the signature. It also comes with a Steiner LOA and a MLB Authenticated hologram (HZ 877079) for use during the July 4th game.
