1995 Greg Maddux Atlanta Braves World Series Game-Used Road Jersey

Greg Maddux’s 1995 World Series Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Unforgettable Performance

In the annals of baseball history, few performances stand out as vividly as Greg Maddux’s during the 1995 World Series. The Atlanta Braves’ ace, who had already secured the National League Cy Young Award that year, delivered a masterclass in pitching during Game 1. Maddux’s two-hit complete game victory set the tone for the series, showcasing his unparalleled skill and poise under pressure. Although he faced a setback in Game 5, the Braves ultimately triumphed, clinching the World Series championship in Game 6.

A Jersey with Rich Details

This remarkable jersey, a testament to Maddux’s legendary career, is adorned with intricate details that speak to its historical significance. The front left tail features a “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” size “44” manufacturer’s tag, complete with washing instructions. A flag tag below reads, “100% POLYESTER”. The chest proudly displays “Atlanta” in red on navy blue tackle twill, accompanied by the iconic Tomahawk logo. The back showcases the player number “31” and the name “MADDUX” in navy blue tackle twill on a grey nameplate.

• Right Sleeve: Embroidered patch reading, “1995 World Series – WELCOME TO THE SHOW” with a Russell Athletic logo.
• Left Sleeve: “30th SEASON IN ATLANTA Braves” patch embroidered on white tackle twill.

The Mystery of Its Use

While the exact capacity in which this jersey was worn remains unclear, it is a hobby-accepted theory that Rafael Belliard requested a full set of shirts after the series from a clubhouse attendant. This leaves open the possibility that the jersey was worn during the series, bench-worn, or part of regular season stock that was patched and prepped for the World Series. Presented to us as game-used, this jersey is properly tagged and, in our opinion, shows appropriate use.

A Legacy Cemented in Cooperstown

Greg Maddux’s illustrious career was further immortalized when he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 2014. His legacy is not only defined by his World Series triumph but also by his four NL Cy Young Awards, a testament to his dominance on the mound. This jersey is more than just a piece of fabric; it is a symbol of Maddux’s enduring legacy and the Braves’ historic victory.
