In 1998, Mark McGwire broke both Babe Ruth's, and Roger Maris' single season home run record. Offered here is McGwire's Cardinals home jersey from that very season. On the inside lower left is the "Rawlings" label with the size tag "52" below. Adjacent to the Rawlings label is the flag tag reading "Set 1 1998." Across the front of the jersey is the name "Cardinals" in script style letters made of red on blue embroidered stitch. Going through the letter "C" is a red embroidered Cardinal perched on each end. On the back of the shirt is a white nameplate with the name "McGwire" in red on blue tackle twill. Below this is the player number "25" also made of red on blue tackle twill. This jersey was custom made for McGwire, shows game-use, and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
