One of baseball's most historically rooted ball clubs the Chicago Cubs have their fair share of fan favorite players, such as Mark Grace who used this equipment bag on many a road trip. The massive equipment bag has "Chicago Cubs" in blue letters on each end, as well as Grace's jersey number "17" in black marker. The bag was manufactured by "King's canvas" and has their flag tag attached by one of the handles. Joe Girardi played a key role on the Yankee team that won the World Series in 1996, 1998 and 1999. In the neck of the jersey is a gray label reading "8-50-00-2" denoting the player number, size, year and set number, respectively. On the left front tail is the "Majestic" label and below is size tag, "50." Across the front of the jersey is the name "Chicago" and on the back is the name "Girardi." The letters are made of blue on white tackle twill. The player number "8" appears on both the left breast and on the back of the jersey. The numbers are made of red on white tackle twill. On the left sleeve is the Cubs patch. Originally a third baseman and most valued for his offense, Keith Moreland was moved to catcher in 1977. In the neck of the jersey is the "Wilson" label with the size, "44." Below this is a white label reading "6 85 2 44" denoting the player number, year, set number and size, respectively. On the left front tail is the year tag "85" in blue chain stitch. On the left breast is the red/white blue Cubs emblem and on the back of the shirt is the player number "6" in blue tackle twill. The jersey comes with pants from the 1986 season. Inside the waistband is a white label reading "6 86 1 33 27" in blue chain stitch. The numbers denote the player number, year, set number, waist size and inseam, respectively. Next to this is the "Wilson" label and size, "33." The jerseys and pants show game-use and appear to have no alterations.
