1997 Alex Rodriguez Seattle Mariners Game Used #16 Home Run Baseball w/A-Rod Signed Letter - JSA & MEARS Auction LOA

To date, Alex Rodriguez has hit 629 home runs during his eventual Hall of Fame career. When his career earnestly began in 1994, collecting home run baseballs had not become a form of art.

The actual OAL (Budig) baseball A-Rod hit for his 16th roundtripper of '97 is offered in this listing. Authentication is concrete as a signed Rodriguez letter will accompany which states: "Alex Rodriguez 1997 Home Run #16, Hit 8-1-97".

The ball shows great game use with the point of contact visible on the south panel. A-Rod signed the sweet spot and inscribed "HR #16 1997" on the west panel.
