1998 Mike Piazza Los Angeles Dodgers Game-Used & Autographed Home Jersey

Mike Piazza’s Iconic Dodgers Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Artifact of Excellence

Mike Piazza, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016, a testament to his extraordinary career. Among the treasures that celebrate his legacy is a remarkable game-worn MLB jersey from his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a symbol of Piazza’s enduring impact on the sport.

Detailed Craftsmanship

The jersey features a “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” size “50” manufacturer’s tag, complete with washing instructions. Attached to this are two flag tags that read, “100% POLYESTER” and “2” EXTRA LENGTH”. Across the chest, the iconic “Dodgers” is emblazoned in blue tackle twill, while the player number “31” appears in red tackle twill both on the front and back. The name “PIAZZA” is proudly displayed across the back in blue on white tackle twill, a testament to the player’s legendary status.

Commemorative Patches and Signature

Adding to the jersey’s allure are the patches that adorn its sleeves. On the left sleeve, a “40TH ANNIVERSARY 1958 1998 LOS ANGELES Dodgers” patch commemorates the team’s storied history. The right sleeve features an embroidered “Russell” logo, underscoring the jersey’s authenticity. Piazza’s signature graces the back of the jersey in black marker, a personal touch that, in our opinion, rates a 3.
