Ever since his 1987 rookie record of 49 HRs, McGwire has continued to belt homers at an amazing pace. In 1998, "Big Mac" shattered Roger Maris' record of 61 HRs in 1961 by hitting 70 round trippers. Mac is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer. This Oakland Athletics alternate green knit jersey is from the 1997 season. On the left front tail is the "Russell Athletic" label with the size "50" and below this is the "2 Inch Extra Length" label. Across the front of the jersey is the team name "Athletics" in script-style letters and on the back is a green nameplate with the player name "McGwire." Below this is the player number "25." The letters and numbers are made of gold on white tackle twill. On the left sleeve is the "A's" patch and on the right sleeve is the "Jackie Robinson 50th" anniversary patch. The jersey shows game use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
