Jeff Bagwell’s Game-Used Jersey: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

An Iconic Piece of Baseball Memorabilia

Jeff Bagwell, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017, solidifying his legacy as one of the sport’s all-time greats. His career with the Houston Astros was marked by extraordinary achievements, and this game-used jersey is a tangible piece of that illustrious history. The jersey, a Russell Athletic masterpiece, is a size 46 and crafted from 100% polyester, ensuring durability and comfort for the player.

Design and Features

The front of the jersey proudly displays the “Astros” name in a striking black on white on black tackle twill, a design that speaks to the team’s storied past. Notably, between the second and third buttons, two corresponding pieces of velcro are present, a subtle yet significant detail that underscores its authenticity. The left sleeve features the Astros’ 35-year anniversary patch, a symbol of the team’s rich history, while the right sleeve bears the Russell “R” logo, embroidered in black.

Back Detailing and Signature

Across the back, the player name “BAGWELL” is emblazoned on a white nameplate, with the adjacent player number “5” below. Both elements are rendered in the same black on white on gold tackle twill, creating a cohesive and visually appealing design. Adding to the jersey’s allure, Bagwell has signed the back player number in gold marker, with the signature rating a 7 in our expert opinion.
