Very rare official Rawlings Major League (Manfred) baseball produced in very limited quantities during the presidency of Donald Trump. This baseball, which bears Trump’s facsimile signature on the sweet spot and the number “45” and the presidential seal on the side panels, was one of a dozen or so made for a potential MLB ‘first pitch’ by President Donald Trump. Includes its original Rawlings “Collectors Edition Baseball” box. In very fine condition. Trump never did throw out a ceremonial first pitch as president. He announced he would at a New York Yankees game scheduled for August 15, 2020, but then retracted the decision shortly thereafter. Before he was president, Trump tossed a first pitch in 2004 for the Somerset Patriots, a professional baseball team based in Bridgewater Township, New Jersey.
From the personal collection of Kevin Chmielewski, who served as Lead Advance/Staff Lead for Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent administration.
