Tony Gwynn’s Game-Used Jersey: A Tribute to a Baseball Legend

Celebrating a Hall of Fame Career

Tony Gwynn, a revered figure in the annals of baseball history, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007. Renowned for his exceptional batting prowess, Gwynn clinched eight National League Batting Titles and was selected as an All-Star an impressive 15 times. His remarkable career also saw him earn the Silver Slugger Award on seven occasions. The San Diego Padres, recognizing his immense contributions, have retired his iconic No. 19 jersey.

A Jersey of Distinction

This extraordinary jersey, a testament to Gwynn’s illustrious career, features the “PADRES” insignia emblazoned across the chest in navy blue on white tackle twill. The player number “19” graces both the front and back, crafted in the same elegant navy blue on white tackle twill. The name “GWYNN” is prominently displayed on the back, sewn directly onto the jersey in navy blue tackle twill. On the right sleeve, the “R” Russell Athletic logo is embroidered, while the left sleeve bears a commemorative “1969 Padres NATIONAL LEAGUE 1999” patch.

Authenticity and Provenance

The jersey is properly tagged with a “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” size “50” manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a “100% POLYESTER” tag. Presented to us as game-used, this jersey, in our opinion, shows appropriate use. Adding to its allure, Tony Gwynn has signed inside the back player number “1” in silver pen, with the signature rating an 8 overall in our expert opinion. This remarkable piece is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA.
