Not your typical baseball jersey, this one has traveled the seas from Havana, Cuba. Worn by the New York Yankees big international acquisition, Jose Contreras before he defected. He has been described as the best amateur pitcher ever, certainly the premier amateur in the world. The "31-year-old" throws in the mid 90's and has just signed a 4-year $32 million contract. Red jersey (black trim) with "Occidentales" across the chest in black embroidered on white tackle twill with white embroidered trim. Verso is "Contreras 52" in white felt lettering. Just below collar line on verso is a small Cuban flag. Right sleeve bears "Serie Espanol Todos Estrellas" circular patch. Left sleeve with "Batos" tag. Identical "Batros Daring Official Merchandise" tag in the collar. Jersey is made from nylon/spandex material.
