1990 Mark McGwire Oakland A’s All-Star Game-Used Jersey

Mark McGwire’s 1990 MLB All-Star Game Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Moment in Baseball

On July 10, 1990, the eyes of the baseball world were fixed on the MLB All-Star Game, where the American League triumphed over the National League with a 2-0 victory. Among the stars on the field was Mark McGwire, a formidable presence in the lineup, wearing a jersey that would become a cherished artifact of baseball history. This jersey, donned by McGwire as a starter for the American League, is a testament to his prowess and the enduring allure of the sport.

Details of the Jersey

The jersey is a Rawlings size “50”, with the manufacturer’s tag located on the inside front left tail. Although the year tag has been removed by a team official, the jersey’s authenticity is underscored by its use during the season and beyond the All-Star Game. The All-Star patch, once proudly displayed on the right sleeve, has been removed, leaving a faint outline as a subtle reminder of its storied past. On the left sleeve, the iconic A’s “Elephant” patch remains intact, adding to the jersey’s historical significance.

Design and Craftsmanship

Across the chest, the word “Oakland” is elegantly scripted, with the player number “25” prominently featured below and on the back. These elements are crafted in green on yellow tackle twill, a hallmark of the Oakland Athletics’ vibrant team colors. The player name “McGWIRE” is emblazoned across the back on a grey nameplate, rendered in green tackle twill, completing the jersey’s distinctive design.
