Mariano Rivera Rookie Era NY Yankees Game-Used Glove

This glove was used by the greatest closer in the history of the game during his rookie era, a time when the NY Yankees were the Kings if baseball. “ZETT” manufactured brown leather glove with black trim. On the outer thumb is “Mariano Rivera” embroidered in white stitch which shows discoloration. On the inside of the mitt is the model number “BIG 1504” stamped along with “11 INCH.” The glove shows excellent game-use and is completely pounded. It appears to have no alterations of any kind and exhibits all the proper markings. It is accompanied by a letter of authenticity.
