Question for you: Were the gloves authenticated to that first inning HR? Or were they authenticated as used in that particular game? Have you photomatched them? I couldn't make out the authentication number in the image you provided, nor could I see a clear photomatch. The reason why I'm wondering is if A-Rod used multiple pairs of gloves in the same game, or if yours are tied to that particular achievement?

Very good question Les!

Randy: NICE Thome hat! Definitely a choice pickup.

Joe: That Rolen looks nice! You picked up a cool jersey.

I kinda responded to this in another post you commented on: http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...088#post315088

First, these batting gloves were given to me by Alex Rodriguez, through his people, in addition to a few other items, for the issues with the Rawlings bat. I was told that Arod used these gloves in this game to hit the 2-run HR off Jared Weaver.

With that said, when I checked on MLB.COM, that isn't clear. It isn't even clear that the item mentioned were game used.

I emailed MLB.com asking numerous questions about these batting gloves. This program was established to help ensure us fans and collectors were guaranteed authenticity of items they obtain.

By looking at these certs, there are just too many questions. Are these BP gloves? Did he use them in the entire game? Are there more than one pair that were for MLB.COM authenticity during this game? Just way too many questions. I do understand that the gloves are "team issued" due to there is no AROD or #13 on them, which I believe he personally orders for himself. But the certs have to provide much more detail than they do.

I'm waiting to hear back fo MLB.COM next week, to see what they have to say. Will keep you posted.

I just went through MLB.COM authentication database, and checked all items authenticated for that game. Good news is, these are the only batting gloves authenticated from that game, which game videos shows him using this style glove in all four at bats.

090890 - LAA Lineup Card
090991 - Pujols game used bat
090902 - 1st Inning base (used 1 thru 5 innings)
090903 - 2nd Inning base (used 1 thru 5 innings)
090904 - 3rd inning base (used 1 thru 5 innings)
0909895-090910 - are all game used baseballs
090911 - GU Jersey (#47 IVan Nova)
090912 - GU lineup card (NYY)
090913 - AROD GU LVS Bat Model P72
090914 - AROD Nike Left Whte Batting Glove
090915 - AROD Nike Right White Battling Glove
090916 - 1st Inning Base (6 thru 9 innings)
090917 - 2nd Inning Base (6 thru 9 innings)
090918 - 3rd Inning Base (6 thru 9 innings)
090919 - Jared Weaver Cleat Left

That's everything authenticated for that game. So it gives me a good feeling, consider they authenticated 16 baseballs; and only one pair of Nike gloves. If there were more than one pair of nike gloves authenticated, then I'd be more concerned. Still, the cert should mention GAME USED and if used for the ENTIRE GAME.

Will still wait to hear back from MLB.COM
