In the tradition of Lou Gehrig and Don Mattingly, TINO MARTINEZ is the latest in a line of immensely popular and talented Yankee first basemen. To date, Tino has over 1800 hits and over 300 home runs, including several key postseason at bats across 20 Series. This is Tino Martinez's 1997 NY Yankees game-used home knit pinstripe jersey. On the left front tail is the "Russell Athletic Diamond Collection" manufacturer's label with size "46." Attached is a white flag tag with material "100% Polyester," beneath which is a white flag tag with "2" extra body length." Adjacent is a white faded patch with "Martinez 97." On the left breast is the "NY" interlocking logo done in blue tackle twill. On the back is the player number "24" done in blue tackle twill. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by a letter from Yankees-Steiner Collectibles.
