Offered is a limited-edition Alex Rodriguez signed “First Time in Pinstripes” photograph in a framed display. The former New York Yankees third baseman has signed his name in silver marker in the right center of the photo, which depicts Rodriguez from behind, kneeling in the on-deck circle on the field at Yankee Stadium, wearing his home Yankees jersey #13 and a navy-blue New York batting helmet. The 16 x 20-inch color photo print is mounted in a white matte with navy-blue pinstripes, and blue with white accents. At the bottom center of the matte is a 1¼ x 6-inch silver metal plaque engraved in blue with the legend “Alex Rodriguez #13 March 5th, 2004 “First Time in Pinstripes” Limited Edition 6 of 13”. The A-Rod signed photo is displayed in a 22½ x 26½-inch brown and black wood with glass frame. Rodriguez played 22 Major League Baseball seasons, breaking in as a shortstop with the Seattle Mariners from 1994 to 2000, then with the Texas Rangers from 2000 to 2003.Prior to the 2004 season, Rodriguez was traded to the Yankees, for whom he converted to a third baseman, because Derek Jeter was already the Yankees' full-time shortstop. During Rodriguez's career with the Yankees, he was named AL MVP in 2005 and 2007. He became the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs, reaching the milestone in 2007. He was part of the Yankees' 2009 World Series championship over the Philadelphia Phillies, which was the first year of the new Yankee Stadium and Rodriguez's only world title. This item comes with a COA from Steiner.
