Description
1997 Tony Gwynn Game Worn & Signed San Diego Padres Jersey Used to Record Career Hits #2,762 & #2,763! Tony and Alicia Gwynn were way ahead of their time when they had the hit king change jerseys for specific hits during Mr. San Diego's run for 3,000. This road gray Padres jersey saw use when the Hall of Famer achieved hits #2,762 (double) and #2,763 (single) versus the Cardinals on September 14, 1997. Team and player identifiers are affixed in tri-color tackle twill, while the franchise patch sits on the left sleeve and the Jackie Robinson silver anniversary patch graces the right sleeve. Meanwhile, the left front tail reveals a "Russell Athletic 50" label with "9/14/97 #2762 #2763 STL" in vintage black felt-tip. Additionally, Gwynn signed the verso, large and bold, in blue sharpie.During the season in which Gwynn wore this jersey he led the N.L. with a .372 BA (eighth and final batting title), 220 hits and 12 sacrifice flies, while also recording career highs in doubles (49), home runs (17), RBI (119) and total bases (324).
This exemplar has a few things going for it. First, all of the jersey specs match up to what Tony is seen wearing that season. Second, the wear is what it should be - light - as Gwynn was pulling jerseys from games in which he recorded a hit/hits out of circulation. Third, the inscription on the Russell Athletic label is in the same hand and format as other known Gwynn exemplars. Full LOA from JSA Authentication. LOA from Heritage Auctions.
