Jason Isringhausen’s 2002 St. Louis Cardinals Game-Worn Jersey: A Tribute to Baseball Legends
A Piece of Baseball History
This extraordinary game-worn MLB jersey from the 2002 season is a testament to the rich history and emotional depth of baseball. Worn by Jason Isringhausen, a key figure in the St. Louis Cardinals’ pitching lineup, this jersey is not just a piece of fabric but a symbol of the team’s enduring legacy and the memories of two cherished figures in Cardinals history.
Design and Features
The jersey is adorned with the iconic “Cardinals” script across the front, rendered in vibrant red chain-stitch embroidery. The player number “44” is prominently displayed both on the front and back, while the name “ISRINGHAUSEN” graces the back on a white nameplate, all crafted in red on navy blue tackle twill. This meticulous design reflects the classic style of the Cardinals, a team steeped in tradition and excellence.
- Manufacturer: Rawlings, with tags indicating size “50” and “SET 1 2002”.
- Memorial Patches: The left sleeve bears a “DK 57” patch in memory of pitcher Darryl Kile, and the right sleeve features a “JFB” patch honoring broadcaster Jack Francis Buck.
- Signature: Isringhausen’s autograph, accompanied by the inscription “44”, is prominently displayed on the back, with the signature rating an 8 in our opinion.
Memorial Patches: Honoring Legends
Embroidered on the left sleeve is the “DK 57” patch, a solemn tribute to Darryl Kile, whose untimely passing at the age of 33 left a profound impact on the baseball community. Adjacent to this is the Rawlings “R” logo, a subtle nod to the jersey’s craftsmanship. On the right sleeve, the “JFB” patch commemorates Jack Francis Buck, a beloved voice of the Cardinals whose legacy continues to resonate with fans.
