Offered is a New York Yankees home jersey donned by first sacker Mark Teixeira during his first season with the club in 2009. Teixeira clearly felt no pressure to live up to his then recently signed 8 year, 180 million dollar contract as he finished second in AL MVP voting after leading the league in home runs (39), runs batted in (122) and total bases (344) as the Yankees went on to capture their 27th World Series Championship that autumn.
Majestic MLB Authentic Collection tag sewn to the tail of the jersey along with size 50 and 2009 flag tags. The Yankees iconic interlocking NY logo is sewn to the left chest in navy tackle twill while Teixeira's uniform number 25 is sewn to the reverse in the same fashion. Yankee Stadium Inaugural Season 2009 patch also sewn to the left sleeve of the jersey. Light use shown. (61O0149)
