If the Yankees were ahead and the game was close, "Enter Sandman." No relief pitcher in history was as reliable in the regular season and as dominant in the post-season as Mariano Rivera. In the 1999 World Series against the Braves, the MLB's all-time leader in saves was called upon in the 8th inning of Game 1 and recorded four outs for his fifth save of the '99 playoffs. In doing so, Mo protected El Duque's outstanding start (7 IP, 10 K's) in leading New York to a key 4-1 win at Turner Field in Atlanta. This set the tone for the rest of the series as the Yanks swept the Bravos for their third title in four years -- they would make it four out of five the following season.
Presented here is the final out game ball from Game 1 of the '99 Fall Classic. The Official 1999 World Series baseball shows heavy use and soiling throughout. Rivera has autographed the Rawlings-branded panel in 6/10 blue ballpoint with "Game Used Ball - 1999 W.S. Game #1 - Last Out" inscribed just above. A brown spot from excess soiling (or perhaps pine tar) appears on a separate panel. In the 4-game sweep, Rivera tallied two saves and even got the win in Game 3 to earn Series MVP. He pitched 4-2/3 innings, surrendered just three hits and a walk, and did not allow a run.
This is a must-have game ball for a big-time Yankees collector. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA and Steiner hologram (140344).
