Pete Rose’s 1970 Game-Used Cincinnati Reds Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Artifact from a Legendary Career

Pete Rose, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, holds the record as the MLB all-time leader in hits with an astounding 4,256. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including three World Series championships and a World Series MVP honor. Rose’s prowess on the field earned him three National League MVP awards, and he was rightfully named to the MLB’s All-Century Team. His achievements as a three-time NL batting champion further cement his legacy as one of the greatest players in baseball history.

During the 1970 season, Rose was instrumental in leading the Cincinnati Reds to the National League Pennant, boasting a remarkable .316 batting average and amassing 205 hits. This jersey, a relic from that unforgettable season, is a testament to Rose’s exceptional talent and enduring impact on the game.

Details of the Jersey

The jersey features the Wilson manufacturer’s tag, size “42,” with washing instructions on the front left tail. Below this, the year “1970” is elegantly embroidered in red chain stitching. In the rear collar, a grey strip tag proudly displays the player name “Rose,” also embroidered in red chain stitch. Across the chest, “CINCINNATI” is emblazoned in red on white tackle twill, while the player number “14” appears on both the front and back. The player name “ROSE” is prominently displayed across the back, all crafted in red tackle twill.
