may have only been with the Milwaukee Brewers for one season, a half-season at that, but what a half-season it was. In what was essentially an audition for every other major league team before entering the free agent market, Sabathia went 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA throwing a league leading seven complete games and three shutouts in 17 starts with the Brew Crew in the second half of the 2008 season. In the following winter Sabathia parlayed his incredible stretch run into a seven-year $161 million contract with the…you guessed it, New York Yankees. Sabathia wore this size-56, two-man tent of a jersey (MLB Auth.LH039698) for the Brewers during his spectacular stint with the club. Sabathia’s name and number 52 are in blue and gold tackle twill on the back with Brewers and 52 in the same fashion on the front. A Brewers MB ball-in-glove logo patch is on the left sleeve and “08 Sabathia 56 462” is embroidered on a strip tag on the inside collar. Clean bright jersey displays only moderate game use and contains Mears authentication evaluation tag #314239.
