Collin McHugh’s Major League Debut Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
An Unforgettable Debut
On August 23, 2012, Collin McHugh made a remarkable entrance into Major League Baseball, pitching for the New York Mets against the Colorado Rockies. In a stunning debut, McHugh delivered a masterful performance, pitching seven innings, striking out nine batters, and allowing no runs. This game not only marked the beginning of his MLB career but also etched his name into the annals of baseball history.
The Jersey: A Symbol of Excellence
The jersey worn by McHugh during this iconic game is a testament to his outstanding debut. On the front left tail, it features the Majestic manufacturer’s tag, size “46”, along with the MLB hologram serial number “EK043978”. The left sleeve proudly displays the Mets “50TH ANNIVERSARY” patch, while the right sleeve honors Gary Carter with the black “KID 8” patch. Across the chest, the word “Mets” is emblazoned, with the player number “36” below and on the back, accompanied by the player name “McHUGH”. All numbering and lettering are crafted in blue on orange tackle twill, adding a vibrant touch to this historic piece.
