Love him or hate him, Alex Rodriguez has left an indelible mark on Major League Baseball. Back in 1996, though, Rodriguez was in the midst of his first full season in the Seattle Mariners, a campaign that would end with A-rod coming in second by a mere three points in the AL MVP race. This game-worn New Era cap was worn by Rodriguez in the ’96 All-Star Game at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, PA, his first of what would be fourteen midsummer classic appearances. The size 7 1/8 hat is navy blue with the embroidered Mariners’ “S” logo on the crown and MLB logo embroidered on the back, and features uniform number “3” in black marker on the underside of the brim. A-Rod has signed the brim of the cap in silver marker, and has included the inscriptions “1996 All-Star” and “(Game Used).” The hat comes with a Game Use certificate from Mill Creek that has also been signed by Rodriguez, which in turn comes with a COA from PSA (AB98559). The hat signature is accompanied by a full LOA from PSA (AA07654).
