These Nike manufactured batting gloves were used on August 11, 2007 by NY Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez to hit career home run 502. On the inner wrist of each is A-Rod’s number “13” along with his hologram sticker. On the inner wrist is a Velcro strip with “AROD” done in raised blue lettering. On the palm of each is an autograph with inscription “HR #502” done in blue marker rating an 8-9. There was extra padding added to the left palm. There is evidence of a piece of padding being removed from the right thumb, as Alex likes to tape up his right inner thumb. The gloves show nice game-use and are accompanied by a LOA from A-Rod stating he wore these to hit his career HR # 502. Also accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
