    Description

    Here is a pair of game worn and used C.C. Sabathia batting gloves from the 2009-2013 time period with the New York Yankees. The batting gloves are made by Franklin and each one has Sabathia's uniform number 52 written on it in marker. I bought this pair of gloves on August 8, 2020 at the auction of lots of Joba Chamberlain's sports memorabilia and household items held in Lincoln, Nebraska.
    I will provide a Letter of Authenticity to the winner of the gloves stating when and how I bought them and that it is my belief that these actually were used by Sabathia. At the auction there also was a game worn CC Sabathia baseball glove. I wanted to buy it, but is sold for thousands of dollars and over my budget that day.  I have been in the game used/worn memorabilia business since the early 1990's.
    Definite use and wear, but lightly used as would be expected of a pitcher in the American League with the DH used. Assume used during interleague play. They also could have been used in batting practice.
    It was brought to my attention that CC normally is seen wearing the Jordan brand of batting gloves in the limited pictures there are of him batting. I know the star players are often given samples of all kinds of equipment. So I'm assuming CC was given these and wore them a bit (in a game and/or batting practice) and the passed them on to his friend Joba.
    I've included a picture of some items in a display case at the auction that the CC batting gloves were in. Unfortunately, the CC gloves aren't in this picture as I didn't realize the CC gloves were there until the auctioneer pulled them out (they didn't know whose gloves they were).
    Sabathia pitched for the Yankees from 2009-2019 and Joba pitched for the Yankees from 2007-2013. So I'm assuming CC gave these gloves to Joba sometime during 2009 and 2013.
    Sabathia will probably be a MLB Hall of Famer with a career from 2001-2019 playing for the Cleveland Indians, Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees. His lifetime record was 251-161 with an ERA of 3.74 and 3,093 strikeouts.
    In separate eBay auctions this week I also have a pair of Victor Martinez game issued batting gloves and wrist bands and 3 pairs of Joba Chamberlain's tennis shoes.
