1976 Rollie Fingers Oakland Athletics Game-Used Alternate Jersey

Rollie Fingers’ 1976 Game-Used Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Career

Rollie Fingers, renowned for his distinctive handlebar mustache, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including being a three-time World Series champion, the AL MVP and AL Cy Young Award winner in 1981, and the World Series MVP in 1974. Fingers stands as the second relief pitcher ever to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame, a testament to his exceptional contributions to the game.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This remarkable jersey, a relic from the 1976 season, is a testament to Fingers’ enduring legacy. On the front of the center tail, it proudly displays a “McAuliffe Uniform Corp.” manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a “42” size tag. Flanking these are a “1976” tag and a tag with washing instructions, ensuring authenticity and historical accuracy.

The jersey’s front left chest features an “A’s” logo in green on white tackle twill, while the back showcases “FINGERS” in green tackle twill, directly sewn onto the jersey. Below, the player number “34” is elegantly presented in green on white tackle twill. Adding to its rarity, the left sleeve bears an original “1776-1976” patch with a depiction of the Liberty Bell, commemorating the bicentennial year.

Why This Jersey Stands Out

• Historical Significance: Worn during a pivotal year in baseball history, celebrating America’s bicentennial.
• Iconic Player: Represents Rollie Fingers, a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest relief pitchers in MLB history.
• Unique Features: Includes rare bicentennial patch and authentic manufacturer tags.
• Condition and Provenance: This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows outstanding use.
