Brooks Robinson’s 1977 Orioles Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
A Legendary Career
Brooks Robinson, one of the most celebrated third basemen in Major League Baseball history, boasts an illustrious career that includes 16 Gold Glove Awards and 18 All-Star selections. His remarkable achievements extend to being a two-time World Series champion, an American League MVP, and a World Series MVP. Inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983 on the first ballot, Robinson’s legacy is etched in the annals of baseball history.
The Jersey’s Unique Provenance
This extraordinary jersey, a relic from Robinson’s final season in 1977, is a testament to his enduring legacy. On the inside of the front right tail, the Rawlings size “42” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions is prominently displayed, accompanied by a PSA/DNA hologram serial number “AJ87157”. A flag tag reading “SET 1 1977” is attached, further authenticating its origin.
Across the chest, the iconic “Orioles” is emblazoned, with the player number “5” appearing on both the front and back. The player name “ROBINSON” is elegantly displayed on an off-white nameplate, with all numbering and lettering crafted in orange on black tackle twill. Robinson’s signature, inscribed in blue marker with the added note “HOF 83”, graces the front of the jersey, rated a strong 8 in our opinion.
Photo-Matched and Authenticated
This jersey has been conclusively Photo-Matched to an Orioles Old Timers event, adding a layer of historical significance. The team retained Robinson’s game-used jersey from his final playing season in 1977, reissuing it for subsequent use. This piece is likely the last jersey Robinson wore, making it a coveted item for any baseball memorabilia collector.
