Albert Pujols Signed 2008 All-Star Game Batting Practice Worn Jersey Inscribed "MVP 05, 08" (JSA ALOA)

This is an authentic on field Albert Pujols worn BP jersey. Jersey features a professional model 0068 tag inside the neck of the jersey which indicates that it was produced strictly for MLB player use.  This 0068 style jersey is only issued to the players and cannot be purchased. The jersey is personally inscribed by Albert to a Pujols family member. The jersey is inscribed in Spanish: "To Juan, With much appreciation to you my friend." This jersey was not worn in the actual game. The jersey was worn by Pujols during the 2008 All Star festivities which includes batting practice.  The specifications of this jersey are consistent with a size 52 Pujols gamer. The official 2008 Yankee Stadium All Star game patch is embroidered on the left shoulder.  The 2008 All Star game will forever be remembered for being the last All Star game at old Yankee Stadium!

The jersey is also inscribed "MVP 05, 08" by Albert Pujols (Cardinals, Angels). Albert took the time to sign his full signature and inscription and not the abbreviated ballpark version which is commonly found. The autograph include a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Auction House LOA for authenticity purposes. The jersey also includes a letter of provenance (not shown) detailing the history of the jersey. For even more significance, 2008 was also the year of Albert's last MVP award.
