In 2016, closer Cody Allen of the Cleveland Indians helped the Tribe reach the World Series for the first time since 1997. the hard-throwing righty posted three wins and stuck out 87 batters over the course of 68 innings pitched. This lot features Allen’s game-worn Cleveland Indians alternate jersey that he donned in every game he pitched during last year’s epic World Series showdown against the Chicago Cubs. Documentation from MLB Authentication and professional photo-matches back this up.
In the gut-wrenching, extra-inning Game 7 loss to the Cubs, Allen pitched two flawless frames of relief in which he yielded no hits and struck out two. He entered the game with the Indians down 6-3 and allowed them to claw back and tie it before the untimely rain delay. All told during the Fall Classic, Allen pitched six scoreless innings in his four appearances, with 12 K's, 2 walks and just 3 hits, picking up the save in the Tribe's nail-biting 1-0 win in Game 3 at Wrigley.
