Description
1962 Juan Marichal Game Worn & Signed San Francisco Giants Jersey, SGC Superior. Only Christy Mathewson and Carl Hubbell won more games for the Giants franchise than this high-kicking Dominican, and the 1962 season in which Marichal donned this home white flannel saw him claim his first (and second) of ten appearances on the National League All-Star roster. But, of course, this year is best remembered in Giants history for its pennant-winning achievement, though they'd come up on the losing end of what was arguably the tightest World Series battle in the full history of the Fall Classic.Marichal posted a record of 18-11 in the 1962 regular season, with a 3.36 ERA and 153 strikeouts, and he'd pitch four shutout innings in Game Four of the World Series before smashing the thumb on his pitching hand during a bunt attempt in the top of the fifth, an injury that would end his season and possibly represented the difference in the team's eventual narrow defeat.
The offered jersey exhibits "moderate to heavy" game use according to the experts as SGC, who affirm 100% original and unaltered condition. "Giants" spans the chest in black felt on orange tackle twill, the same format that announces the number "27" on verso. We find minor seam separation on the number "7," but certainly nothing out of the ordinary for a garment of such advanced vintage. A "Marichal" embroidered felt swatch appears at interior collar, while lower left front tail provides the "Tim McAuliffe Inc." manufacturer's label with "62" year and "42" size swatches just below.
The jersey is magnificently preserved, with none of the moth damage or staining common to jerseys of the era. A bold black sharpie signature completes the package at lower left front tail. LOA from SGC, Superior. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.
