Mike Schmidt’s Game-Used Jersey: A Testament to Baseball Greatness

A Legendary Career

Mike Schmidt, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, stands as one of the greatest third basemen in the history of the sport. With a career that boasts an astounding 548 home runs, including three seasons where he surpassed the 40 home-run mark, Schmidt’s prowess at the plate was matched only by his defensive brilliance. His ten Gold Glove Awards are a testament to his skill and dedication on the field, all while playing for the Philadelphia Phillies. A three-time National League MVP and a 12-time All-Star, Schmidt’s legacy is firmly etched in the annals of baseball history.

The Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

This remarkable jersey, worn by Schmidt during his illustrious career, is a coveted piece of baseball memorabilia. The inside rear collar features the Rawlings manufacturer’s tag, size “44,” complete with washing instructions. An attached “SET 1 1989” flag tag further authenticates its origin. Adjacent to this is a grey strip tag with “SCHMIDT” embroidered in maroon, a signature touch that adds to its authenticity.

• Team and Player Details: The left sleeve proudly displays the official “Phillies” team logo patch, while the right sleeve features the Rawlings logo embroidered in maroon.
• Iconic Design: The Phillies “P” logo adorns the left chest, with the player number “20” prominently displayed on both the right chest and back. Above the number on the back, “SCHMIDT” is emblazoned on a grey nameplate, all in maroon on white tackle twill.
• Signature and Condition: Schmidt’s signature graces the front of the jersey in black marker, rated a 9 in our opinion. A baseball-related stain, possibly from dirt or pine tar, adds character to the front left tail.
