Description
1982 Willie Stargell Game Worn & Signed Pittsburgh Pirates Jersey, MEARS A9--Signed on Last Day of His Career. Stargell experts will immediately be drawn to the bold black sharpie inscription at lower left front reading, "To Jeff, Best Wishes, Willie Stargell, 3 Oct 82." It was on this date that the most beloved figure in Pirates history stepped to the plate for the final time, singling on a slow roller to lead off the bottom of the first inning before surrendering his position to a pinch runner and walking off the field forever.Though Pops wore white for his 2,360th and final Major League appearance, the connection of this special gamer to that last day of a Hall of Fame career carries enormous collecting significance. Stargell was used almost exclusively as a pinch hitter in 1982, the forty-two year old legend making only eight appearances on defense and seventy-four on offense, so wear is appropriate for that workload.
"Pirates 8" is applied in that classic Pittsburgh format to chest, with "Stargell 8" on verso, the digit retired during a "Willie Stargell Day" event a month before this jersey was signed. Proper "Wilson [size] 48" label appears at interior collar, and "82" swatch is sewn to lower left front tail. LOA from MEARS, A9. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
