Description

1980 Ozzie Smith Game Worn San Diego Padres Jersey, MEARS A9.5. Generally regarded as the finest fielding shortstop in the 150-year history of professional baseball, and with an endless list outrageous fielding feats which need to be seen to be believed, Ozzie Smith was a fifteen-time All-Star, thirteen-time Gold Glove winner, and World Series champion.

Offered here is an early gamer dating from the dawn of the electrifying Hall of Fame shortstop's nineteen-year Major League career and his inaugural Gold Glove season. As spectacular in its presentation as its original owner was in the field, the road brown knit pullover has "padres" arched over the chest with "1" on the verso, all of which is sewn-on in gold on orange tackle twill. Also on the verso can be found a brown knit nameplate with "Smith" artfully arched in tall, thin, gold tackle twill letters. Meanwhile, the jersey is further accentuated with gold and orange trim around the v-neck and sleeve cuffs, Tagging includes a Wilson 40" label in the collar and a brown swatch in the tail with "1 80" in white chain link.

This exemplar exhibits with pliable, frayed, and puckered identifiers from a season's worth of wear and multiple washings. The right side of the numeral on the back of the jersey has partially detached due to loose anchor stitching and is the only reason for the half point grade deduction. The jersey remains in its all original condition and displays beautifully. LOA from MEARS, A9.5. LOA from Heritage Auctions.
