⚾ Vintage Autographed/Signed Edwin Encárnación New York Yankees Rawlings Official Major League Baseball ROML JSA COA – Hand-Signed by the Dominican Republic Power Hitter Whose “Parrot Walk” Home Run Celebration Became One of the Most Recognized Gestures in Baseball and Who Built His Legacy With the Toronto Blue Jays Before His Stint With the New York Yankees, Delivering Consistent 30-Plus Home Run Seasons and Three Silver Slugger Awards at First Base, Confirmed Authentic by James Spence Authentication

⚾ An autographed official Rawlings Major League Baseball is the most intimate form of baseball memorabilia – the actual ball that the game is played with, the model used in every major league game, carrying the commissioner's stamp and the cowhide leather and the raised red stitching that every fan has held in their imagination since the first time they understood what the sport was about. When a player signs one, they are placing their name on the most fundamental object in their sport – and the JSA authentication confirms that Edwin Encárnación's name on this ball is his. The Rawlings Official Major League Baseball (ROML) designation means this is not a commemorative or replica baseball but the same model used in major league games, making it the most authentic possible signing surface for a player who spent his career at the highest professional level.

⚾ Edwin Encárnación was born January 7, 1983, in La Romana, Dominican Republic, and developed as a slugger who combined left-handed power with the defensive versatility of a first baseman/designated hitter – a player who became one of the most consistent home run producers in the American League during the prime years of his career with the Toronto Blue Jays. From 2012 through 2016, he hit 42, 36, 34, 39, and 42 home runs in consecutive seasons, establishing himself as one of the three or four most feared power hitters in the junior circuit and earning three consecutive Silver Slugger Awards at first base as recognition of his offensive dominance at the position. The combination of patience, bat speed, and home run power made him a challenge that opposing pitchers and managers adjusted their entire game plans around.

⚾ The “parrot walk” celebration that Encárnación brought to every home run trot – his left arm raised toward his shoulder in the gesture of a pirate's parrot perched on its shoulder – became one of the most copied and celebrated home run celebrations in the sport, the kind of personal signature that fans across baseball adopted as a universal signal of a ball going over the wall. He joined the New York Yankees in 2019, adding his left-handed bat to a lineup built around power in one of the most historic chapters for the organization, and this Rawlings Official Major League Baseball signed during that Yankee tenure is the most personal signed artifact a collector of his career can acquire – the official game ball, his name, JSA verified.
