Mike Schmidt’s Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Baseball Greatness

A Legendary Career

Mike Schmidt, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, is celebrated as one of the greatest third basemen in the history of Major League Baseball. With an impressive tally of 548 career home runs, Schmidt’s prowess at the plate is undeniable. His remarkable career includes three seasons with over 40 home runs, a testament to his extraordinary hitting power. Beyond his offensive achievements, Schmidt’s defensive skills were equally formidable, earning him ten Gold Gloves during his illustrious tenure with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Schmidt’s accolades extend beyond individual awards. As a three-time National League MVP and a 12-time All-Star, his contributions to the game have left an indelible mark on baseball history. His legacy is enshrined in the Hall of Fame, where he stands among the sport’s most revered figures.

The Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

This particular jersey, worn by Schmidt during his final season in 1989, is a remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia. The jersey’s authenticity is underscored by the Rawlings manufacturer’s tag, size “44,” with washing instructions and a “SET 1 1989” flag tag. Adjacent to these tags is a grey strip tag with “SCHMIDT” embroidered in maroon, adding a personal touch to this historic garment.

• Team and Player Details: The left sleeve features the official “Phillies” team logo patch, while the right sleeve bears the Rawlings logo, both embroidered in maroon. The Phillies “P” logo adorns the left chest, with the player number “20” prominently displayed on the right chest and back.
• Signature and Condition: Schmidt’s signature graces the front of the jersey in black marker, with the signature rating a 9 in our opinion. A baseball-related stain, possibly from dirt or pine tar, adds a touch of authenticity to the front left tail.

This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion shows appropriate use. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, this piece is a must-have for any serious collector.
