Jorge Posada is widely regarded to be one of the premier catchers in the Major Leagues. The fact that he is a switch hitter, as well as his power and patience at the plate, makes him an extremely valuable and dangerous offensive weapon. Jorge consistently ranks at the top at his position in home runs, RBIs, walks, slugging percentage, and runs scored. On the inside of the circa. 1995 helmet is the manufacturer's size sticker which reads "American Baseball Cap, Media, PA 19063, 7 3/8, Made in U.S.A." There is also an "Authentic Diamond Collection" sticker and a "Warning" sticker on the inside. On the front of the helmet is affixed the "NY" interlocking logo done in white plastic. On the back of the helmet are number stickers "20" done in white and the "ABC" manufacturer sticker. The helmet shows good game-use with several abrasions and scuff marks. The bat is cracked on the handle, with the lower handle covered in moto-stick. A few cleat marks are on the back barrel. Blue and white ball marks pound the left barrel. Man: H&B, Model: M356, Order Date: 2001-04, L: 34.5 in, W: 31 oz, Wood: Ash, Finish: Black/Smith. The bat and helmet are each accompanied by a Yankees-Steiner Collectibles COA.
