Slugging shortstop Didi Gregorius wore this pinstriped New York Yankees home jersey on April 6th, 2015, for his first Opening Day with the Yankees. Gregorius, who joined the Yankees in the winter of 2014 from the Arizona Diamondbacks, reached base on a hit by pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays in the season’s first game. Brett Gardner knocked a solo home run for the Yankees in a 6-1 loss to Toronto. Gregorius appeared in a career-high 155 games for the Yankees in 2015, hitting .265 with nine homers and 56 RBI as the native of Amsterdam assumed the mantle of starting Yankees shortstop following Derek Jeter’s retirement.
This offered Yankees home jersey is a button-down, white pinstriped jersey with the Yankees’ interlocking “NY” logo sewn on the chest in navy tackle twill. Gregorius’ number “18” is sewn on the back of the jersey in navy tackle twill below an MLB logo patch. A Majestic tag with attached “2015” and size “46” flags is sewn on the front left tail of the jersey above a Yankees barcode tag. This jersey displays excellent use with a dirt stain present on the chest. This jersey comes with an MLB Authenticated hologram (HZ753598) and a LOA from Yankees-Steiner (216834).
