From his rookie year until 2005, Alex Rodriguez used the same model glove as one of his idol’s, Cal Ripken, Jr. This is one of those gloves. It is a “Rawlings” manufactured glove and is deer tanned cowhide. On the outer thumb is “Alex Rodriguez” embroidered in black stitch. Inside the glove is “PRO-6HF” stamped in black and on the outer pinky is “GOLD GLOVE SERIES” with five black dots determining the year 2000. It shows evidence of excellent game-use with heavy pocket wear and dirt staining throughout. It comes with a hand signed LOA from a former Baltimore Orioles bat boy. The LOA states, in part “this Alex Rodriguez glove was given to me at the beginning of the 2004 season…I worked for the Baltimore Orioles as the home and visiting bat boy and had become good friends with Alex…it has been in my collection since.”
