Gaylord Perry’s Seattle Mariners Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Career

Gaylord Perry, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. A five-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young Award winner, Perry’s career was marked by remarkable achievements, including leading Major League Baseball in wins three times and securing a total of 314 victories. His legacy is one of resilience and skill, making any memorabilia associated with him highly coveted among collectors.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This Seattle Mariners jersey is a testament to Perry’s illustrious career. Beneath the rear collar, it features the Wilson manufacturer’s tag, size “46,” complete with washing instructions. On the front left tail, a strip tag reading “60 81” is embroidered, indicating its vintage authenticity. The jersey proudly displays “Seattle” across the chest, with the player number “36” both adjacent below and on the back, all crafted in blue on yellow on blue triple tackle twill. Across the back, a blue nameplate bears the player name “PERRY” in navy blue tackle twill.

A Historic Inscription

Perry’s signature adorns the front of the jersey, inscribed in blue marker with the heartfelt message “Best Wishes #305 9-4-82.” This inscription is particularly significant as it marks Perry’s 305th career win on September 4th, 1982. In our expert opinion, the signature rates an impressive 8, adding to the jersey’s allure and value.
