JASON HART Signed Baseball Allan H."Bud" Selig Rawlings Official Major League Baseball Jason Wyatt Hart (born September 5, 1977) is an American former professional baseball outfielder and first baseman and current hitting coach of the Hickory Crawdads in the Texas Rangers organization. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Texas Rangers in 2002. Standing at 6'4" and weighing 240 pounds, Hart attended Fair Grove High School and was originally drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 20th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball Draft. He opted to play college baseball at Southwest Missouri State University. In 1997, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham A's of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He was a 2nd-team college All-American and a Missouri Valley Conference All-Star in 1998. He was selected by the Oakland Athletics in the fifth round of the 1998 Major League Baseball Draft, and signed with the club. In 2000, Hart had an outstanding season. He spent most of the season with the Double-A Midland RockHounds, hitting .326 with 44 doubles, 30 home runs and 121 RBI for them. He led the Texas League in at-bats, hits, and RBI. Although he spent most of the year with the Rockhounds, he also played five games for the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, hitting .278 with one home run, one double and four RBI in 18 at-bats. Overall, he hit .324 with 45 doubles, 31 home runs and 125 RBI. He was a Baseball America All-Star, a Double-A All-Star and a Texas League All-Star. The baseball is complete and in VERY GOOD condition with some yellowing/ darkening from age. I personally had the baseball signed with a ballpoint pen in 2000 by Jason Hart when he played for the Midland RockHounds who were the AA Texas League affiliate of the Oakland A's.
