When it comes to sporting milestones, the heroes are always remembered, with others paramount to the event often less celebrated and for obvious reasons, but still very important to the story nonetheless. We have such an occurrence here, with the complete Oakland A’s uniform hurler Brad Halsey wore in 2006 while serving up Barry Bonds Ruth-tying home run. Included is Halsey’s jersey (photo-matched) and uniform pants from that historic day, along with his cap, cleats and glove. Each item has been signed by the tragic figure, with notations on each referencing their important provenance. Occurring on May 20th, Bonds would go on to surpass Hank Aaron to become the all-time home run king with 762.
Originally consigned by Halsey to Locker Room Memorabilia of Tampa, FL, who Halsey had an exclusive deal with, Locker Room Memorabilia then turned the items over to AuctionWire, an auction agency based in Toronto and New York that assisted in the sale of the Bonds 715 ball. The jersey has Majestic labeling with a Locker Room hologram on the collar, with a tackle twill team crest utilized. Halsey signed the reverse in silver, adding the provenance, while the Majestic pants with a “Haley 36-39 35 OB 06” swatch have also been signed with a notation stating “Game Used 714 ties Babe Ruth”. The size 7 ½” New Era cap has “51” handwritten on the underside of the brim, again signed with a notation regarding the item’s provenance. The Rawlings glove has been signed in silver, with each cleat signed on the outside portion. Each item also remains in beautiful condition. Getty Image #71140952 from May 20th 2006 has been matched to the slightly slanted position and particularities of the "5" of "51" on the front of the jersey. Getty Images #71140952, #71213203 and #71213203 also show a stylistic match to the customization of the left shoe (not a photo-match), while Getty Images #71213205, #71140952 and #71213203, also from March 20th all show a stylistic match to the correct model of glove Halsey wore while giving up Bonds historic run.
