This black Rawlings model PRORV23 has "A-Rod" embroidered in black on the thumb. It shows superb use and is well broken in. This came directly to us from a member of A-Rod’s entourage; there is a bat and spikes from this same person in this auction. The glove was used sometime between 2006 and 2009 and will come with a Lelands LOA stating the same. There are very few REAL A-Rod gloves on the market - this one is a beauty.
