Greg Maddux’s 1994 Game-Worn Jersey: A Tribute to Pitching Excellence
A Season of Dominance
In the annals of baseball history, few pitchers have achieved the level of dominance exhibited by Hall of Famer Greg Maddux during the 1994 season. That year, Maddux was awarded the National League’s Cy Young Award, a testament to his unparalleled skill and precision on the mound. His remarkable season was highlighted by an astonishingly low ERA of 1.56, the lowest of his illustrious career. This achievement not only solidified his status as one of the greatest pitchers of all time but also etched his name into the fabric of baseball lore.
The Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
This grey knit jersey, worn by Maddux during that iconic season, is a tangible piece of baseball memorabilia that captures the essence of his excellence. The front left tail of the jersey features the RUSSELL ATHLETIC manufacturer label, accompanied by two flag tags. While one tag is too faded to decipher, the other proudly displays “2” EXTRA LENGTH,” indicating the custom fit tailored for Maddux’s needs.
The jersey’s design is a tribute to the Atlanta Braves, with the team city and tomahawk logo emblazoned across the front in vibrant red on navy tackle twill, accentuated by gold embroidery. The right sleeve bears the MLB 124th anniversary patch, a nod to the rich history of Major League Baseball. On the back, Maddux’s player number (31) is prominently displayed in red on navy tackle twill, while his name (MADDUX) is elegantly stitched in navy tackle twill across a grey nameplate.
