Ryne Sandberg’s 1991 Game-Used Jersey: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

A Legendary Career

Ryne Sandberg, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including the 1984 NL MVP award, 10 All-Star appearances, nine Gold Glove Awards, and seven Silver Slugger Awards. Sandberg’s legacy is immortalized by the Chicago Cubs, who retired his iconic No. 23 jersey, a testament to his enduring impact on the franchise and the sport.

This remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia is a 1991 game-used jersey, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. The jersey is adorned with the “CHICAGO” lettering across the front and “SANDBERG” across the back, both crafted in blue on white tackle twill. The player number “23” is prominently displayed on both the front and back, in a striking red on blue on white triple tackle twill. The left sleeve features the “CUBS” logo patch, while the right sleeve bears the “Cubs” bear logo patch, adding to the jersey’s distinctive character.
