Description

Fog City Auctions is pleased to present this MLB-authenticated
LOS ANGELES DODGERS 2016 POSTSEASON J
ULIO URIAS
road jersey from his historic
2016 NLDS GAME 5
performance on October 13, 2016 versus the Washington Nationals.
2016's NLDS Game 5 was the decisive, winner-take-all game of the series when the Dodgers defeated the Nationals, 4-3, and advanced to the NLCS to face the eventual World Series Champion Chicago Cubs.  NLDS Game 5 featured some of MLB's greatest generational stars and standout performances by young, rising talents... Julio Urias being one of those breakouts.
Some notable performances of the game include:
-
JULIO URIAS:
At just barely 20 years old Urias made his postseason debut, pitched 2 shutout-innings and earned the victory, becoming the youngest pitcher in MLB history to win a postseason game!  In the subsequent NLCS Game 4 versus the Cubs, Urias became the youngest pitcher (20 years & 68 days old) in history to start a postseason game, breaking Bret Saberhagen MLB record (20 years & 175 days old) set during the 1984 ALCS.  The previous NL record was held by another left-hander hailing from Mexico... Dodgers legend, Fernando Valenzuela during his brilliant 1981 NL ROY & Cy Young award-winning season.
-
CLAYTON KERSHAW:
Pitching just two days following his Game 4 start, Kershaw entered the game in the 9th-inning with one out and two runners on base after closer Kenley Jansen ran out of steam.  With the game, series and season on the line Kershaw recorded the last two outs, securing the first and only save of his HOF-worthy career.
This specific jersey was purchased directly from the Los Angeles Dodgers through MLB Auctions and is MLB-authenticated as team issued.  It is our opinion that the jersey was worn by Julio Urias during Game 5 of the 2016 NLDS, and have provided the support for our conclusion below.  Some of the item specifics include:

PHOTOMATCHING & GAME USE EVIDENCE
:
-While the jersey is MLB-authenticated as team issued, we hold the opinion -- with a high degree of confidence -- that this jersey was worn by Julio Urias for his Postseason Debut during 2016 NLDS Game 5 versus the Washington Nationals.  We believe that the game photos of the jersey worn by Urias demonstrate matching identifiers with the jersey we have listed.  The photos we used to reach our opinion have been included for your review.
-Additional evidence influencing our opinion is that the jersey features proper attachment of all manufacturer's tags, patches, lettering and codes consistent with a 2016 MLB professional (non-retail) postseason jersey. The condition of the wash tag and loosening jersey threads demonstrates it has been washed at least once by the team, suggesting it was likely worn by Urias.
-Finally, the Dodgers Club Authentication event occurred on November 1, 2016 which was shortly after the conclusion of the Dodgers season. We believe the timing of authentication along with the documented evidence strongly supports our conclusion that this jersey is authentic and was worn by Julio Urias during his historic 2016 NLDS Game 5 performance.  While it is possible Urias wore this jersey for other games during his 2016 rookie season, we do not provide an opinion beyond what we believe confirms its use during the 2016 Postseason.
