Major League Baseball launched the Authentication Program in 2001 and uses a third party authenticator at each and every game, who witnesses all items that received a signature or that were removed from the field. Every item, once witnessed, receives a sequentially numbered hologram to easily identify its authenticity. Over 3,000,000 items have been authenticated since 2001.

According to the USA Baseball website, Stephen Strasburg did not pitch in the game against China-Taipei on June 27. That does take a little bit of the shine off the item, but it’s still a very cool collectible nonetheless.
Stephen Strasburg’s New Era Cap size is 7 3/4 (62 CM). That is a large head, as New Era usually stops production at size 8, just one size up from what Strasburg wears.
