If not for the historic rookie season put in by New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi would have easily been in the mix for the Rookie of the Year Award in 2017. In 151 games, Benintendi hit 20 home runs, had 90 RBI and sported a solid .270 average, which was enough for him to finish second in the ROY voting.

Benintendi wore this Majestic size 42 Boston Red Sox home jersey during the regular and post season for the Sox. Benintendi batted .250 in the ALDS against the Houston Astros, with a home run and two RBI. This classic jersey features “RED SOX” across the chest in Tuscan font in red and navy tackle twill. Red piping runs around the collar and down both sides of the buttons and the Majestic tag is screen-printed on the bottom front left tail. An additional Majestic bar code tag is screen-printed vertically on the inside center tail and reads “#16 BENINTENDI 2017 42”. The back of the jersey has Benintendi’s number “16” in McAuliffe style numbers in red and navy tackle twill with a ChromFlex MLB Logo patch sewn on Red Sox colors. The right sleeve has a ChromoFlex “2017 POSTSEASON” patch and the left sleeve has the Majestic logo embroidered in navy. The sides and bottom tail are lined in white mesh and this jersey displays light game use. This jersey comes with a MLB Authenticated hologram (JD434529) and has been labeled “Team Issued”, a common designation for items collected after the season. There is also a LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema.
