That's what Heritage Auction told TMZ Sports this week -- just months before bidding opens for the rare Ohtani gear on Feb. 6.
The jersey was worn on Aug. 3, 2023 ... when Ohtani hit his 40th home run of the season against the Seattle Mariners. He also had four strikeouts on the mound for the Halos.

This isn't the first time the bros addressed the elephants in the room ... Jason Kelce was actually the one who got the footballer to open up on "Wood" during an episode of "New Heights" -- and while Travis said he liked it, he was quite shy when pressed to give further comment.
