King Felix Gives Rolex To Former Teammate Jaso  

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Apr 2, 2013 11:43 am

Felix Hernandez has given former teammate John Jaso a rolex as a gesture of thanks for catching the right-hander's perfect game last August against the Tampa Bay Rays.


"Getting to be a part of it is way bigger than this, but this is definitely a really nice gesture," Jaso said. "He really didn't have to. I was really just happy with being behind the plate. He came through."


Jaso, who now plays for the Oakland Athletics, received the gift before Monday's game against the Athletics and Seattle Mariners.


Engraved on the back of the watch are the words "perfect game" and the date -- "8/15/12."
