Brett Gardner wore this home Yankee Pinstripe jersey, #11, that bears patches honoring two legendary Yankee personalities for the final time during the August 9th, 2010 against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. The first patch, honoring the passing of long-time Yankees owner George Steinbrenner on July 13, 2010, reads “George M. Steinbrenner III * GMS * “The Boss””, and is stitched above the NY logo on the left chest. The second patch, on the left sleeve, honors long-time Yankee Stadium announcer Bob Sheppard, who passed away just two days before Steinbrenner on July 11. This patch reads “Bob Sheppard * The Voice of Yankee Stadium” beneath the image of a microphone. There is also a black armband in memory of former manager Ralph Houk on the left sleeve beneath the Sheppard patch. The front has the famed interlocking “NY” sewn on the upper left chest in navy tackle twill and Gardner’s number “11” on the back in the same navy tackle twill. The Majestic tag with “2010”, “46” and “-1 “body” flags are sewn on the bottom front left tail. This jersey comes with an MLB Authenticated hologram (FJ191268) for the use, authenticating that Gardner wore this jersey for the last time during the August 9th, 2010 game against the Boston Red Sox. There is also a LOA from Steiner Sports (147142) for the use.
