1977 Lou Brock St. Louis Cardinals Game-Used & Autographed Road Jersey

Lou Brock’s 1977 Game-Used Jersey: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

A Legendary Career

Lou Brock, a name synonymous with speed and skill, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985 on the first ballot. A six-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, Brock’s legacy is cemented as he ranks second all-time in stolen bases, trailing only the legendary Rickey Henderson. His number 20 is proudly retired by the St. Louis Cardinals, a testament to his enduring impact on the franchise and the sport.

The Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

This remarkable jersey, a relic from the 1977 season, captures the essence of Brock’s illustrious career. On the inside of the front right tail, a “Rawlings” size ’42” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions is prominently displayed. Attached is a flag tag that reads, “SET 1 1977”. Across the chest, the iconic “Cardinals” name is adorned with the team’s logo of two cardinals perched on a bat, crafted in vibrant yellow, navy blue, and red chain-stitching.

• Player Number: The number “20” graces both the front and back of the jersey.
• Player Name: “BROCK” is emblazoned across the back in red on navy blue tackle twill, sewn directly onto the baby blue jersey.
• Signature: Brock’s autograph, rendered in black marker below the v-neck, is rated an 8 overall in our expert opinion.

The tail of the jersey has been cut short and trimmed straight across from the factory, a characteristic trait of many Brock game-worn jerseys. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA.
