Clayton Kershaw Signed & Game Used 1st Base from Rookie Season Game (8/1/08 vs. AZ)(MLB Holo, Steiner & JSA)

A great game used relic from Kershaw's rookie campaign in 2008, offered here is a Dodgers first base that was used in play for the first 6 innings of the August 1st, 2008 game between the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks in Los Angeles. The pitching matchup for this game saw a young Kershaw go up against future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson. Over the course of 6 innings pitched, Kershaw flashed some of his brilliance while keeping the Dbacks scoreless.

This base shows great usage with plenty of soiling and scuffing from usage. Kershaw has signed the base above the Dodgers' 50th Anniversary logo in black felt tip marker. The base is accompanied by rock-solid provenance, including serial-numbered authentication holograms from MLB and Steiner to verify the game usage, and the autograph is authenticated and accompanied by a COA from James Spence Authentication/JSA.
