Featured is a spectacular Ryan Howard minor league game-used jersey. This apparel was used by the slugger during either his 2004 or 2005 stints with the AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons of the International League. The size 52 Russell Athletic red-and-blue pinstriped home jersey reveals moderate game usage including a sizable portion of pine tar residue on the back collar. This would be consistent with Howard's ready position of resting the bat on his back left shoulder. The hulking slugger endorsed the upper left breast portion in black sharpie, with the autograph grading an (“8”). All tags, nameplates and shoulder patches are tightly affixed on this elusive button-down jersey. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentications
