A third of the way through the 2013 season, the Los Angeles Dodgers were struggling in last place. 8.5 game back and needed a spark for all that assorted talent. Enter Yasiel Puig, the young Cuban defector. Puig started hitting immediately, and with his reckless full-tilt style of play, sparked the Dodgers to an almost unprecedented run to win their division by 11 games. Puig has continued to produce in his supposed “sophomore jinx” 2014 season, helping lead the Dodgers to first place as of this writing. This gray, road button-down “Cool Base” jersey has “Los Angeles” scripted in Dodger blue across the chest, complete with the standard paraph. On the left side is Puig’s unique number “66” in red. The lower front tail has the “Majestic Authentic Size 50” painted tag affixed with MLB hologram (EK 792534), while inside the collar is a gray strip tag with “66 PUIG 50 2013” stitched in black thread. Across the back is his name “PUIG” on a gray nameplate with his number “66” below, both in blue tackle twill. The MLB authenticate hologram states this jersey was worn during the August 1, 2013 game at Chicago. Puig was 2-4, HR, 2 R, a walk and the one RBI. He hit his 11th home run this game, only his 51st major league game, and was hitting .367 after this performance. Light to moderate evidence of game use. As one of the most electrifying young players in the game today, we are proud to offer one the first Puig jerseys to come to auction, and one of the first jerseys he wore as a major league player. MLB Authenticated game worn jersey, cert number EK792534.
