An Iconic Representation of Baseball Excellence

In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few names resonate as powerfully as Mark McGwire. Known for his prodigious home runs and commanding presence on the field, McGwire’s legacy is immortalized in the fabric of the game. We are thrilled to present a remarkable piece of this legacy: a St. Louis Cardinals uniform worn by McGwire himself.

Details of the Uniform

This extraordinary uniform is a testament to McGwire’s time with the Cardinals, a period marked by unforgettable moments and record-breaking achievements. The jersey features the “Rawlings” manufacturer’s tag with wash instructions, accompanied by an additional flag tag indicating the size “52.” The front of the jersey proudly displays “Cardinals” in script, alongside the iconic “Cardinals on a Bat” logo, embroidered in vibrant red, yellow, and black.

Both the front and back of the jersey bear the player number “25,” rendered in red on navy blue tackle twill. Across the back, “MC GWIRE” is emblazoned in red on black tackle twill, set against a grey nameplate. The custom hemmed straight bottom adds a touch of tailored elegance to this historic garment.

The Pants: A Complementary Piece

Completing this ensemble are the pants, which feature the “Rawlings” manufacturer’s tag on the inside back waistband. Adjacent to this is a strip tag reading “McGWIRE 25 36-39 37 99 1,” further authenticating the uniform’s provenance. Presented to us as game-used, the jersey and pants exhibit signs of game use, yet remain unaltered, preserving their original integrity.
