This 2013 Tampa Bay Rays Alternate Jersey, #11, was game worn by Yunel Escobar in the American League Wild Card game on October 2, played at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. Escobar went 1-4 in the game with an RBI, helping the Rays to a 4-0 victory to advance to the ALDS vs. the Boston Red Sox. Just one week prior Escobar wore this exact same jersey and had etched his name in the history books for an entirely different reason, popping out to second base to become the final out recorded by Mariano Rivera in his storied career. This jersey has been photo matched to that event The jersey is dark blue with light blue striping, with the Majestic manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, size 48, and the front right tail has “Set 2013” patched behind the button flap. Rays is written across the chest in navy blue with white trim and a light blue shadow effect, while the back finds “ESCOBAR” patched in white on dark blue, above a dark blue 11 trimmed in white. Signed in silver vertically on the number 1 is “Yunel Escobar 11”. Jersey is tagged with MLB Authentication Hologram # EK848031, and includes an LOA from JSA.
