New York Yankees ace reliever and future Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera appeared in four games of the 2009 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. He earned two saves in 5.1 scoreless innings, while allowing three hits with three strikeouts as the Yankees downed the Phillies in six games, pitching a scoreless 1.2 innings in the clincher. It was Rivera’s seventh and final World Series and fifth World Series champion team. This MLB Authentic (LH733236) home plate was removed from the Yankees bullpen after the sixth and deciding game and is signed by Rivera in bold black sharpie in his own impeccable penmanship with a “#42 Enter Sandman 09 W.S. Champs,” inscription. Schutt Hollywood Bases home plate is caked with Yankee Stadium bullpen dirt and comes with letter of authenticity #121297 from Yankees-Steiner Collectibles.
