Offered is the ball clocked by A-Rod on May 18, 1997 for his 7th homerun of the season & his 48th career longball. When the dust settles on Rodriguez' outstanding career, a home run baseball, especially an early one, will surely be a preferred piece of memorabilia. Signed by A-Rod in blue ballpoint on the sweet spot, with additional inscription on separate panel, "HR #7, 1997." Signature grades "9" out of a possible 10. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity signed by A-Rod himself.
