In 2016, Boston’s beloved DH David Ortiz wrapped up his Hall of Fame bound career in style by surpassing several baseball icons on the career home run list. Each month he surpassed another legend: in July he topped Ted Williams’ mark of 522 career home runs and in August, he passed Jimmie Foxx. Before passing Mickey Mantle, Ortiz wore this road gray Boston Red Sox jersey during the September 3rd game against the Athletics in Oakland. While wearing this shirt, Oritz had a great day at the plate, going 3-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored helping the Red Sox to an 11-2 victory.

     This Majestic size 50 FlexBase jersey has the traditional “BOSTON” sewn on across the button-down front in red and navy tackle twill. The Majestic tag is screen-printed on the bottom front left tail and the Majestic team tag is screen printed on the bottom front center tail that reads “#34 ORTIZ 2016”. The back of the jersey has “ORTIZ” and his now retired “34” sewn on in red and navy tackle twill, with a vinyl MLB logo patch sewn on the upper back neck. The bottom back tail of the jersey and the sides are lined in gray mesh. The left sleeve has the hanging “socks” logo patch above the red embroidered Majestic logo. Ortiz signed his name diagonally on the “4” on the back of the jersey and added inscriptions on each horizontal side of the “3” that read “Game Used”, “9/3/16” and “Final Season”. This jersey shows light use and has a couple of light dirt stains on the collar and it comes with a MLB Authenticated hologram (JB824919) and a Fanatics hologram (AA0014270) which both authenticates the game use, signature and inscription.
