Both Rivera and Pettitte have signed the plate in black marker, with Rivera inscribing “Save #637 7/6/13” and Pettitte inscribing “Last win of ML Record 72 win-save combos / Win #251 7/6/13”. Pettitte’s inscription commemorates his and Rivera’s 72nd combined win-and-save, a MLB-record. This base comes with a MLB Authenticated hologram (EK 689446) authenticating its use on the field and a LOA from Steiner Sports (202566) for the game use. Please note that the Steiner LOA incorrectly states this as a bullpen home plate. There are two Steiner Sports holograms (SS277264 and SS098749) for the signatures.
