Steve Stone’s 1980 Baltimore Orioles Jersey: A Testament to Excellence

A Season of Triumph

In the storied annals of Major League Baseball, few seasons stand out as brightly as Steve Stone’s remarkable 1980 campaign with the Baltimore Orioles. That year, Stone achieved an extraordinary feat, securing 25 wins and earning the prestigious American League Cy Young Award. His prowess on the mound was further showcased during the All-Star Game, where he pitched three commanding innings, solidifying his status as one of the era’s premier pitchers.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This exceptional jersey, a relic from Stone’s iconic season, is adorned with distinctive features that speak to its authenticity and historical significance. On the front left tail, an orange strip tag is embroidered with “80 1” in blue chain-stitching, marking its origin from that unforgettable year. Inside, below the rear collar, resides a “Wilson” size “42” manufacturer’s tag, complete with washing instructions, ensuring its preservation for generations to come.

Across the chest, the jersey proudly displays “Orioles,” while the player number “32” is emblazoned on both the front and back in striking black on white tackle twill. The back of the jersey bears the player name “STONE” in black tackle twill on an orange nameplate, a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defines this piece.
