Team USA Jersey Question

[GoCrazyFolks76]

I just picked up this Team USA jersey from the Mike Shannon collection on Lelands, and i was wondering if you guys could help me identify if this was a game used vs issued vs retail jersey, what year the jersey was from, and maybe some help with the signatures.

I know one of them is Stephen Strasburg, but I haven't been able to identify the others.

Thanks!

Without looking at the roster, that looks like Dustin Ackley's signature (DA13)

I agree that it looks like Akley, however I wasn’t able to find Acley on any of the Team USA rosters.

Could be autos from the 2009 Draft. I know Stephen went #1 and Ackley went #2

Looks to be team-issued, but not worn. The tag would suggest pro-issue but, when I reviewed a whole group of Russell Team USA jerseys a few years ago, there were several NNOB #11 jerseys in the group.

Thanks everybody for your help.

So, it looks like a team issued jersey with autographs by Strasburg, Ackley and Matthes. So what do all of these guys have in common? They were all finalist for the 2009 USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award that took place in St. Louis at the All-Star game. The two other finalist were A.J. Morris and Mike Leake.

Thanks guys!
