Cruz made his major league debut with the Seattle Mariners in ’97, and the switch hitter produced stellar numbers. Shockingly, after just two months, he was traded to Toronto. Nevertheless, his abilities were undeniable, and he finished just behind Nomar Garciaparra in the voting for AL Rookie-of-the-year. Rawlings Pro303-4HB has his name stitched onto thumb and he has signed in silver sharpie just above it. Glove shows exceptional use. Jersey with “Mariners” across the chest, “Cruz 23” on verso with blue sharpie signature just below. Sleeves bear the Mariners’ 20th anniversary patch and the Jackie Robinson 50th anniversary patch. Tagging on front left tail is “Russell Athletic Diamond Collection [size] 44” with [year] 1997, 1” extra length, & “100% polyester” flag tags. Light use. LOA from Cruz, Jr.
