Steve Carlton’s Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
A Legendary Pitcher’s Legacy
Steve Carlton, a name synonymous with excellence in Major League Baseball, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994 on his first ballot. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including being a 10-time All-Star, winning two World Series championships, and securing the NL Cy Young Award four times. Carlton’s legacy is not just about the numbers; it’s about the indelible mark he left on the game.
The Jersey’s Unique Features
This remarkable jersey, worn by Carlton, is a testament to his storied career. On the front left tail, it features a “Wilson” size “46” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions. Below this, a strip tag with “46 74 1” is embroidered, indicating the size and year. Inside the rear collar, another strip tag proudly displays “Steve Carlton” in elegant embroidery. The left chest is adorned with the iconic “P” logo, while the right chest and back bear the player number “32,” all crafted in red chain-stitching on white tackle twill.
