This Fenway Park game-used home plate is signed by David Ortiz in black Sharpie with inscriptions filling up the entire space. The inscription reads, "BIG PAPI, AL CHAMPS 97-65, WS CHAMPS, SOX 4 - CARDS 2, 13 WS MVP, BOSTON STRONG, THIS IS OUR F'N CITY" and includes both Fanatics and MLB holograms affixed. Since theft is apparently a problem at Fenway, the home plate has the entire bottom filled with cement so most people wouldn't be able to remove it if they tried. This item is possibly unique as we've never seen another offered for sale and the signature is also authenticated by BAS with a full LOA.
