(Stanton - Braves LOA)
Atlanta Braves Game-Worn Jerseys: A Tribute to Baseball Excellence
Introduction to the Jerseys
In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game like authentic, game-worn jerseys. We are thrilled to present two exceptional pieces from the Atlanta Braves, each telling a unique story of the players who donned them and the era they represent. These jerseys are not just garments; they are a testament to the enduring legacy of baseball.
Mike Stanton’s 1994 Jersey
The first of these remarkable artifacts is the 1994 jersey worn by Mike Stanton. On the front-left tail of this white knit jersey, you’ll find the Wilson manufacturer label, proudly displaying the size 44 tag. Below it, a strip tag marks the year 1994. The iconic team name “Braves” with the Tomahawk is emblazoned across the front, while Stanton’s player number, 30, graces the back. Both are crafted in striking red on navy tackle twill. The player name “STANTON” is elegantly displayed in navy tackle twill on a white nameplate across the back. Adding to its historical significance, the left sleeve is adorned with the MLB 125th patch. This jersey is accompanied by a Braves Letter of Authenticity (LOA), further enhancing its value and authenticity.
Marquis Grissom’s 1997 Jersey
Equally captivating is the 1997 jersey worn by Marquis Grissom. Like Stanton’s jersey, it features the Wilson manufacturer label with a size 46 tag and a strip tag indicating the year 1997. The team name “Braves” with the Tomahawk is prominently displayed on the front, while Grissom’s player number, 9, is featured on the back. Both are rendered in the same red on navy tackle twill. The player name “GRISSOM” is showcased in navy tackle twill on a white nameplate across the back. The right sleeve bears the Jackie Robinson 50th patch, commemorating a pivotal moment in baseball history.
