1974 Pete Rose Cincinnati Reds Game-Used & Signed Home Uniform

Pete Rose’s Game-Used Uniform: A Testament to Baseball Greatness

An Iconic Piece of Baseball History

Pete Rose, an indomitable figure in Major League Baseball, stands as the all-time leader in hits with an astounding 4,256. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including three World Series victories and a World Series MVP honor. As a three-time National League MVP and a member of the MLB’s All-Century Team, Rose’s legacy is etched in the annals of baseball history. This auction presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of that legacy: a game-used uniform from the 1974 season.

Details of the Uniform

The uniform comprises a jersey and pants, both bearing the unmistakable marks of Pete Rose’s legendary career. On the inside front right tail of the jersey is the Rawlings manufacturer’s tag, size “42,” complete with washing instructions and an attached flag tag reading “SET 2 #8P 1974.” The left chest proudly displays the “REDS” team logo, embroidered in white on red tackle twill. The right chest and back feature the player number “14,” while the name “ROSE” is emblazoned across the back, all in red tackle twill.

• Player Signature: Rose has signed the front of the jersey in black marker, adding the inscription “Hit King #4256.” This signature, in our opinion, rates an 8.
• Complementary Pants: Accompanying the jersey are Rawlings size “32” pants from the following season, with a strip tag reading “14 33 24 25 3.” Rose also signed these pants with the same inscription, and the signature is similarly rated an 8.
• Provenance: This uniform is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use.

Accompanied by Authenticity Documentation

This exceptional piece of baseball memorabilia is accompanied by a PM&G Letter of Authenticity (LOA) grading the jersey a perfect 10, as well as an ALOA from JSA. These documents further affirm the significance and authenticity of this remarkable artifact.
