As a young slugger, a superstar and a veteran captain, Willie "Pops" Stargell always brought class, and often victory to the Pittsburgh Pirates. A menacing figure at the plate, Stargell would slowly twirl his bat round and round as he prepared for the pitch, almost like winding a powerful spring. Among his "collect-call" homers were four into the upper deck at Three Rivers Stadium. In the neck of the jersey is the "Wilson" label with the size, "48." On the left front tail is a gold patch reading "8 80" which has been done in black chain stitch. The numbers denote the player number and year, respectively. Across the front of the jersey is the name "Pirates" in black on white tackle twill and on the back is a gold nameplate with the name "Stargell" in black tackle twill. The player number "8" appears on both the left breast and on the back of the jersey. The numbers are made of black on white tackle twill. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
