Description: 2016 NLDS GAME 5 CARLOS "CHOOCH" RUIZ DODGERS TEAM ISSUED PLAYOFF ROAD JERSEY - PHOTO-MATCHED AS GAME-WORN DURING CLAYTON KERSHAW'S ONLY CAREER SAVE!!! + MLB AUTHENTICATED GAME USED GO-AHEAD RBI SINGLE HIT BY RUIZ IN THE 7TH INNING Fog City Auctions is pleased to present this unique combination of collectibles from the decisive 2016 NLDS GAME 5 MLB PLAYOFF game on OCTOBER 13, 2016 between the LOS ANGELES DODGERS and WASHINGTON NATIONALS. This specific game used baseball is MLB-authenticated as being pitched in the top of the 7th-inning by SAMMY SOLIS to CARLOS RUIZ, pinch hitting for fellow Phillies World Series champion Chase Utley. Chooch hit this ball for a go-ahead RBI single (Career Playoff Hit #38 of 39), scoring Austin Barnes and giving the Dodgers a 2-1 lead in the decisive NLDS Game 5. Following this clutch base hit, the ball was removed from play and authenticated by MLB. The Dodgers would go on to defeat the Nationals 4-3, clinching the Division series and advancing to face the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS. Game 5 was another definitive game in the Legend of Chooch as he provided the clutch, go-ahead RBI pinch hit in the 7th and eventually finished the game as catcher for CLAYTON KERSHAW, as the Dodgers superstar pitched his first and only career save! This specific jersey is MLB-authenticated as TEAM-ISSUED and was purchased directly from the Los Angeles Dodgers, through MLB Auctions. We have used images to successfully PHOTO-MATCH its use to the 2016 MLB Postseason NLDS Game 5 between the Dodgers and Nationals. The specific image we selected is shot from behind Ruiz as he crossed home plate in the bottom of the 7th inning. We have highlighted four areas of the player's name with identifiable loose blue stitching threads to provide definitive evidence. Additional signs of use are present, including dirt, stains, and wash tag wear. We also find that all appropriate numbers, lettering and team patches are present and unaltered. However, we present the loose threads as the most compelling evidence to support our opinion that the jersey was worn by Carlos Ruiz when he hit this MLB-authenticated baseball during the clinching game 5 of the 2016 National League Division Series. This is an amazing, 1-of-a-kind, MLB-AUTHENTICATED and PHOTO-MATCHED, game-used combo featuring fan favorite Carlos Ruiz during his final career postseason! You receive both the game used baseball and the photo-matched, game-worn jersey when Chooch hit the go-ahead, RBI single!! Authenticated balls such as this are sent mid-game by the home team for sale to the public. The authentication is input by the on-site MLB authenticators, who apply the holograms and enter the details of the play. Authentications can be verified through the MLB.com site. This ball carries the hologram JB954079 and the jersey features hologram JB783936. I have attached a screen shot for your review of the MLB authentication serial number search result. *Shipping Details: This item ships USPS PRIORITY (insured for the purchase price) for $19.95 anywhere with the USA.
