Melky Cabrera Autographed Yankees HR Swing 16x20 Photograph
Melky Cabrera was recalled by the New York Yankees from the Bombers' Triple-A affiliate Columbus in May, 2006, to replace an injured Hideki Matsui in left field and quickly became a fan favorite. On June 6, 2006, Cabrera garnered nationwide attention by deftly stealing a home run from Manny Ramirez in the eighth inning of a Yankees-Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium, when Cabrera reached over the left center field wall to retrieve a sharp line drive. The potential home run would have tied the ballgame at 2-2; the Yankees won the game 2-1. Melky Cabrera has hand signed this 16x20 color photograph of him hitting a walk-off home run for the Yankees to beat the Seattle Mariners 5-4 in 11 innings on July 18, 2006 at Yankee Stadium. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
