Matt Cain Game-used Mlb Baseball Final Career Appearance 9/30/17 Ryder Jones

  

For sale is a truly unique collectible from the SEP 30, 2017 SF Giants versus SD Padres game, won by SD 3-2 (in SF). Giants rookie infielder, Ryder Jones struck this specific ball in the 2nd inning for his only hit in 3 at-bats off Padres starter Jhoulys Chacin. Officially, the single accounts for Jones' 26th career hit and the final hit of his 2017 rookie campaign!

The game also marked the final MLB start of SF Giants pitcher, Matt Cain. In the no-decision, Cain would yield 2 hits without allowing a run while recording 4 strikeouts over 5 innings of work. A vintage Matt Cain start! Alabama native, Matt'The Horse' Cain was selected in the first round (25th overall) of the 2002 June amateur draft by the San Francisco Giants. The former first-rounder paid off for the franchise as he was instrumental during the'even-year' championship runs in 2010, 2012 and 2014. In a career that spanned all 13 seasons in SF, Cain logged 1694 strikeouts, 104 wins with a 3.68 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. The Horse' was also voted to All Star games in 2009, 2011 and 2012. On June 13, 2012 Matt Cain would notch the only perfect game in Giants franchise history versus the Houston Astros!
