Rollie Fingers’ 1974 Game-Worn Jersey and Memorabilia: A Testament to Baseball Excellence
A Legendary Career Highlight
In the annals of baseball history, few names resonate with the same reverence as Rollie Fingers. A pivotal figure in the Oakland Athletics’ dominance during the early 1970s, Fingers was instrumental in securing the team’s historic “three-peat” World Series victories in 1972, 1973, and 1974. His remarkable performance in the 1974 World Series earned him the prestigious MVP award, a testament to his skill and determination on the mound.
Rollie Fingers’ legacy is further immortalized by his seven All-Star selections and his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992. His number “34” was retired by the Athletics, a fitting tribute to his contributions to the team and the sport.
The Iconic 1974 Game-Worn Jersey
The jersey in question is a rare and significant piece of baseball memorabilia, representing a pivotal moment in Rollie Fingers’ illustrious career. Inside the rear collar, the “McAuliffe” manufacturer’s tag is prominently displayed, with the size “44” label below. The year “1974” label and wash instructions are found on the left front tail.
Adorning the left chest is the iconic “A’s” logo, while the player number “34” graces the back, all crafted in white on yellow tackle twill. The player name “FINGERS” is emblazoned across the back in white tackle twill, a testament to the jersey’s authenticity and historical significance. Rollie Fingers has personally signed the front team logo in black marker, with a rating of 8, adding a personal touch to this extraordinary artifact.
Additional Memorabilia: Pants and Cap
- Game-Worn Pants: The white pants feature the “McAuliffe” tag, the year “1973” tag, and wash instructions. The green chain-stitched “34 26” indicates the player number and inseam, respectively. A large team repair on the right hamstring further attests to their game use.
- Game-Worn Cap: The “New Era” cap, size “6-7/8,” bears the player number “34” under the bill. Accompanied by a handwritten note on “Rollie Fingers HOF” stationery, it confirms its use during the 1972 season, signed by Fingers himself.
Both the jersey and pants were presented to us as game-used and, in our opinion, show appropriate use. The cap, similarly presented as game-used, is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, further enhancing its provenance and value.
