An Iconic Piece of Baseball History

In the annals of Major League Baseball, few names resonate with the same reverence as Pete Rose. Known for his unparalleled achievements, Rose’s legacy is immortalized in this remarkable 1971 game-used jersey. This piece of baseball memorabilia captures the essence of a player who redefined excellence on the diamond.

Unmatched Achievements

Pete Rose, a switch hitter, stands as the all-time Major League leader in hits, games played, and at-bats. His illustrious career is decorated with:

• Three World Series rings
• Three batting titles
• One Most Valuable Player Award
• Two Gold Gloves
• The Rookie of the Year Award
• 17 All-Star appearances across five different positions

In 1999, Rose’s contributions to the sport were further recognized when he was named to the Major League Baseball All-Century team, cementing his status as a baseball legend.

The Jersey’s Distinctive Features

This home flannel jersey is a testament to Rose’s storied career. Inside the front tail, it features the Rawlings manufacturer’s label with size “42,” accompanied by a tag with wash instructions and a flag tag reading “SET 1 #8P 1971.” The jersey’s left breast proudly displays the “C REDS” logo, stitched in white upon red tackle twill, while the player number “14” is emblazoned on both the right breast and the back. The name “ROSE” is elegantly sewn across the back in red tackle twill.

Adding to its allure, Rose has signed the back number in black marker, with the signature rating a 9 in our opinion. The jersey exhibits minor staining on the front tail and red tinges under the arms from his undershirt, indicative of its game-used status. Presented to us as game-used, this jersey shows excellent wear and is accompanied by an SGC booklet of authenticity and a full JSA LOA.
