Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022

Hailing from the notorious “bat flip” game that later sparked controversy online, with the Jose Bautista play described by the New York Times as possibly “the most ostentatious bat flip in MLB history", we offer the 1st base used in Game 5 of the 2015 American League Division Series (Oct 14th), used specifically during the 4th and 5th innings (Bautista’s bat flip occurred in the 7th inning), and it has been signed by Bautista. Featuring “2015” Postseason” MLB graphics, the Schutt Hollywood Base sports Jays ALDS logos to each side, with a few notations handwritten to the underside that have been crossed out, along with “1st Base 4th to 5th Oct 14th”. Showing dirt staining from use, Bautista signed the top of the base in black marker. An MLB hologram is affixed to the underside, with the base authenticated by MLB, but not the signature.
