Description
1985 Pete Rose Game Worn Cincinnati Reds Uniform--Photo Matched! The most prolific hitter in over fourteen decades of Major League history is likewise one of its most complicated figures, a man whose indomitable ambition served as the highly combustible fuel propelling him to the heights of both fame and ignominy. But whether Rose's banishment from the game lasts forever, or if he is ultimately welcomed back into forgiving arms, his career hits record--arguably the most significant of all baseball metrics--will almost certainly outlive us all. In more than three decades since he leapfrogged the iconic Ty Cobb, only two players have risen to within a thousand hits of his 4,256.This photo matched road representation aided Rose during his assault of Cobb's time-honored record, and is sourced from a prominent teammate of Charlie Hustle who tells us that it was obtained near the time he passed Cobb. "Cincinnati 14" is placed across the front in single-color red tackle twill while "Rose" is arched atop the reverse digits. Red and white ribbed material surrounds the V-neck and sleeve ends. The inside tail has a "Rawlings [size] 44" tag and "Set 1 1985" flag tag. The matching pants completes the ensemble. A "M.J. Goodman & Sons size 34" tag and "Rose 34-29 '85" swatch occupy the waistline. The jersey/pants combo shows light overall wear. Rose was wearing new jerseys on a regular basis as he approached and overtook the record so this is acceptable. LOA (photo match) from Sports Investors Authentication. LOA from Heritage Auctions.
