It doesn't get much better than this for Joe Mauer collectors. This 2003 New Britain Rock Cats minor league game-worn jersey marks Mauer's last full season in the minors, where he batted .341 through 73 games. He would debut with the Twins the next season en route to five All-Star Games, three batting titles and an MVP in 2009. Making this one even more special, this OT Sports Size 48 is the only Harley Davidson version to exist, specially made for a 2003 TSI Harley Davidson Game. It features an oversized "New Britain Rock Cats" patch on chest with a button-up front and a Harley Davison Motor Cycles patch on the right sleeve, with the Rock Cats logo on the left sleeve. The jersey is photomatched to the Mauer during the game and arrives with a COA from the Rock Cats stating the jersey was worn and autographed by Mauer during the game (signed by William F. Dowling, president and general manager). The signature is on the "2" of Mauer's stitched-on No. 25 on the back, and is pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
