Albert Pujols, 2001, St Louis Cardinals, Game Worn Rookie Jersey - $7,500 - (Kensington, MD)

Albert Pujols 2001 Game Worn Rookie Jersey Certificate of Authenticity from Rob Steinmetz, Authentic Gamers: This home white St. Louis Cardinals jersey was worn by Albert Pujols during the 2001season. Tagged on the inside of the tail with a Rawlings wash tag, a year/set flag tag and a size 48 flag tag. This jersey exhibits moderate evidence of game use (primarily in the form of wash wear), and was originally purchased directly from a Pujols family member. Pujols hit 37 home runs in his rookie season of 2001 and won the Rookie of the Year together with his first of 10 All Star games with 130 RBI and a .610 Slugging percentage. This season he will become only the ninth player to hit more than 600 home runs. And he is on track to reach the 700 level and join Bonds, Henry Aaron and Babe Ruth. He led the Cardinals to two World Series Championships, won 3 MVP awards, and just about every other significant award. And through it all he has remained a pillar of his community and a quality individual. His game worn jerseys are the rarest in the sport especially when they have a provenance as this one has from a family member to Rob Steinmetz. Steinmetz is arguably the most knowledgeable dealer and impeccable source for Important Pujols memorabilia from his Cardinal years.
