In his first full year in the majors, Arod batted .358 and drove in 123. This OAL Budig baseball dates from that first full year (1996), and is the actual ball hit by Arod for his 18th career homer. It shows great use and has been signed on the sweet spot by him. He also added the inscription "HR #18, 1996" on the bottom panel. This early home run ball comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
