Pete Rose’s 1979 Game-Used Uniform: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

An Iconic Piece of Baseball History

Pete Rose, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, stands as the MLB all-time leader in hits with an astounding 4,256. His illustrious career is adorned with 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 remarkable uniform from 1979, presented to us as game-used, offers a tangible connection to his storied career.

Uniform Details and Significance

The uniform is a testament to Rose’s enduring legacy and features intricate details that highlight its authenticity and historical value:

  • Manufacturer’s Tags: The front left tail bears a “Wilson” size “44” tag with washing instructions, accompanied by a white strip tag embroidered with “79 1” in navy blue chain-stitching.
  • Player Identification: Inside the rear collar fold, a white strip tag with “Rose” embroidered in navy blue chain-stitching ensures the uniform’s provenance.
  • Team and Player Markings: The left chest showcases the team’s “P” logo, while the player number “14” is prominently displayed on the right chest and back. The player name “ROSE” is emblazoned across the back on a white nameplate, all in burgundy tackle twill.
  • Personal Touch: Rose’s signature graces the team’s “P” logo, with the inscription, “To Dave, My good wishes,” rated a 5 overall in our opinion.

Condition and Provenance

The uniform exhibits signs of its storied past, with staining on the neck collar and right sleeve, adding to its character and authenticity. The zipper remains intact, and the inside waistband features a “Wilson” size “32” tag with washing instructions, alongside a flag tag reading “32 1-2 INS.” A white strip tag with “Rose 79 2 25” in navy blue chain-stitching further authenticates this piece. This uniform is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows outstanding use, accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA.
