2020 Late December Auction Closing January 3
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/3/2021
Offered in this lot are two baseballs, one an Official Major League Allan H. Selig baseball and one Official American League Gene A. Budig stamped baseball that has been signed by the three-time American League MVP and consensus best player of his generation Mike Trout. A five-tool centerfielder, Trout’s dominance has been the story of baseball for the past decade. The unassuming Trout hails from the South Jersey hamlet of Millville, inspiring his alliterative nickname of the “Millville Meteor” in a nod to the cosmic greatness Trout inspires on the baseball diamond. Trout signed his name in blue pen on the Budig ball, beneath the “New York 7 Mickey Mantle” stamp on the side panel. This ball has black stamps and black laces. This comes with an MLB Authenticated hologram (VS304325). The second baseball has the “ALL*STAR FUTURES GAME 2010” logo, which Trout has signed his name in blue pen below that logo. This ball comes with an MLB Authenticated hologram (VS304326).
