An Iconic Piece of Baseball History
Step into the world of baseball greatness with this extraordinary piece of sports memorabilia: Joey Votto’s game-worn jersey and pants from Game 5 of the 2012 National League Division Series (NLDS). This remarkable ensemble is not just a uniform; it is a symbol of Votto’s prowess and the Cincinnati Reds’ storied legacy.
Detailed Craftsmanship and Authenticity
The jersey is a masterpiece of design and authenticity. On the front left tail, it proudly displays a “Majestic” size “52” manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by the MLB hologram sticker “329560EK,” which authenticates the jersey as part of this exclusive lot. Below, a tag reads, “PROPERTY OF CINCINNATI REDS 2012,” affirming its provenance. The left inseam features a “100% POLYESTER” tag with washing instructions, while the left seam bears a “Majestic COOLBASE” tag.
Adorning the left chest is the iconic “REDS” logo patch, while the right chest and back showcase the player number “19.” Across the back, the name “VOTTO” is emblazoned in white on red on black triple tackle twill, sewn directly onto the vibrant red jersey. Above the player name, the official “MLB” logo is embroidered, adding a touch of distinction.
Signature and Inscription
Inside the back player number “1,” Joey Votto has signed in black pen, adding the inscription, “‘12 Playoff GU.” This signature, in our opinion, rates an impressive 8 overall, further enhancing the jersey’s allure and value.
Exquisite Detailing on the Sleeve
The left sleeve features a Reds mascot logo patch, with a “Majestic” logo embroidered below. This jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used in Game 5 of the 2012 NLDS, and in our opinion, shows excellent use. Votto’s performance in this game, with two hits and a walk, is immortalized in this garment.
The Pants: A Perfect Match
Completing this ensemble are the pants, which are equally remarkable. Inside on the rear waistline is a “Majestic” manufacturer’s tag, adjacent to a white strip tag that reads, “19 37-50 40 OB ‘11.” Above the rear left pocket, a “Majestic” logo is embroidered. These pants are properly tagged, were presented to us as game-used, and show appropriate use.
