Authenticated and certified by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS), this signed Yankees grey jersey is the collectible of the catcher from Santurce. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🌟 \u003cstrong\u003eSanturce, Puerto Rico — The Draft and the Dynasty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🌟 Jorge Posada was born on August 17, 1971, in Santurce, Puerto Rico — the San Juan neighborhood that has produced a remarkable concentration of professional baseball talent across decades, including Roberto Clemente, Orlando Cepeda, and Roberto Alomar, among others. Posada came through the pipeline differently from many of his Puerto Rican predecessors — he was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 24th round of the 1990 MLB Draft out of Calhoun Community College in Alabama and converted from an infielder to a catcher in the Yankees system, where the organization developed him into the backstop who arrived in the major leagues in 1995 and stayed for seventeen seasons.

The late-1990s run of three consecutive championships (1998-2000) is one of the most concentrated periods of sustained postseason success in modern baseball, and Posada caught every pitch of every October during those years. The 2009 championship, which reunited the Core Four in the new Yankee Stadium, gave Posada his fifth ring. Five rings. Five times the grey road jersey returned to the clubhouse with a title. Beckett authenticated.

For Yankees fans and baseball historians who followed the dynasty teams from their emergence in 1996 through their conclusion in 2009, the signed grey jersey from the Hall of Fame catcher is the collectible that places the Core Four story on the wall in its most complete form.
