This is an OFFICIAL 2004 WORLD SERIES (Selig) Baseball signed by 2x World Series Champion, 2016 NL Manager of the Year, former Indians, Dodgers, Red Sox, Padres and Giants outfielder and former Padres and current Dodgers manager DAVE ROBERTS in blue pen. The signature rates a 9.5/10. The ball itself is ever so lightly toned and gorgeous. Please look at pictures for further detail. I am happy to send/post more pictures upon request, if needed.
DID YOU KNOW? Most notable was his stolen base in the 2004 ALCS Game 4. The Red Sox were facing elimination in the bottom of the ninth inning, down four runs to three. Kevin Millar drew a walk from closer Mariano Rivera. Roberts, who had not played in ten days came in to pinch run with Bill Mueller hitting. Rivera attempted to pick off Roberts three times. On the first pitch to Mueller, Roberts stole second base, barely beating Yankee catcher Jorge Posada's throw. After the steal, Mueller singled, Roberts scored from second, and the Sox went on to win the game in 12 innings, beginning their run of eight straight wins that culminated in Boston's first World Series title since 1918.
This ball comes with a Tristar COA card and sticker affixed to the ball. There is also an MLB Authentic sticker on the ball.
This ball was originally purchased through a reputable auction house and I will GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY of the signature with a FULL money back promise if PSA or JSA happens to think otherwise. I have been collecting, buying and selling baseball autographs for close to 40 years and am considered an expert in the field.

I price ALL of my baseballs to SELL...usually lower priced than all other comparable balls on eBay at the time of listing (seriously...check it out!). I do list with a "Best Offer" option as again, I am here to SELL these balls, even though I feel my initial pricing is fair. If you have a reasonable amount in mind, please send an offer. Worst thing that could happen is for me to decline the offer. If I counter the offer, it means we're close...let's work together to make it happen. Thanks for looking! Brandon
