Orel Hershiser’s 1988 Historic Uniform: A Testament to Pitching Excellence

A Season for the Ages

In the annals of baseball history, few seasons stand as tall as Orel Hershiser’s remarkable 1988 campaign. This year, Hershiser not only led the league with an impressive 23 wins, but he also dominated in innings pitched (267) and complete games (15). His crowning achievement, however, was his record-breaking streak of 59 consecutive scoreless innings, surpassing the previous mark set by fellow Dodger legend Don Drysdale. This feat, accomplished during the regular season, remains a testament to Hershiser’s unparalleled skill and determination.

The Uniform of a Champion

The uniform worn by Hershiser during this historic streak is a piece of baseball memorabilia that captures the essence of his legendary performance. The jersey, emblazoned with “Dodgers” across the front in blue tackle twill, features Hershiser’s number “55” in red on the front and blue on the back. His name, “HERSHISER,” proudly adorns the back, completing this iconic piece of sports history. The right sleeve bears the “Rawlings” embroidery, a mark of quality and authenticity.

A Legacy of Excellence

With a record of 23-8 and a 2.26 ERA, Hershiser’s impact was felt both in the regular season and beyond.
