Description

MLB Authenticated-Xander Bogaerts (Double), JD Martinez (Double), Christian Vazquez (Single) Game-Used Baseball. Shipped with USPS Priority and Signature Required (which is why handling is higher). When have you seen a baseball live for three hits and five total bases? Well you have now!! And this ball wasn’t hit by any Joes. It was raked by three of the Red Sox’s stars!! But I’m getting ahead of myself. On July 22, 2019, the Boston Red Sox visited the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. Eduardo Rodriguez started for the Red Sox, while Jalen Beeks went for the Rays. The Red Sox won 9-4 behind hits by Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, JD Martinez, Christian Vazquez, Andrew Benintendi, Sam Travis, and Marco Hernandez. (Only Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley, Jr. went hitless.) With two outs and no one on in the top of the ninth, Bogaerts came to the plate to face Michael Brosseau. Bogaerts worked the count full. Brosseau then HELD THIS BALL IN HIS HAND!! He threw a slider. BOGAERTS RIPPED THIS BALL TO RF FOR A DOUBLE WHERE AVISAIL GARCIA GRABBED IT to get it back to the infield. Brosseau GOT THIS BALL BACK. JD Martinez walked to the plate. Brosseau threw a slider for a ball. He then threw this ball for two more sliders, both called strikes. He followed that with — you guessed it — another slider, this time for a ball. On the fifth pitch, he threw Martinez a — wait for it — slider, and MARTINEZ BELTED THIS BALL TO LF FOR A DOUBLE WHERE TOMMY PHAM GRABBED IT; BOGAERTS SCORED!! But wait, there’s more!! Brosseau got this ball back again. Christian Vazquez came to bat. Brosseau threw a slider for a called strike. On the next pitch, Brosseau threw a slider, and VAZQUEZ SMACKED THIS BALL TO PHAM FOR A SINGLE. The ball was finally retired. This ball is MLB Authenticated for all EIGHT PITCHES, including Bogaerts‘s Double AND Martinez’s Double AND Martinez’s RBI AND Vazquez’s Single (not to mention Pham touched it twice and Garcia once). Oh, what a life this ball had!! Thank you for purchasing!!
