Curt Schilling’s 2001 Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
A Legendary Season
The year 2001 was a remarkable chapter in the annals of Major League Baseball, marked by the Arizona Diamondbacks’ audacious acquisition of Curt Schilling. Teaming up with Randy Johnson, Schilling formed one of the most formidable pitching duos in MLB history. His performance that year was nothing short of spectacular, boasting a 22–6 record with a 2.98 ERA, leading the majors in wins and innings pitched. Schilling’s postseason heroics were equally impressive, as he went 4–0 with a 1.12 ERA, culminating in a World Series victory over the New York Yankees. His contributions earned him a share of the World Series MVP Award alongside Johnson.
The Jersey’s Distinctive Features
This extraordinary jersey, worn by Schilling during that iconic season, is a testament to his prowess on the mound. The front left tail features a “Rawlings” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions, accompanied by three flag tags reading “SET 1 2001”, “50”, and “1 INCH EXTRA LENGTH”. The jersey proudly displays “ARIZONA” across the chest in teal on white on metallic gold on black tackle twill. The player number “38” graces both the front and back, with the name “SCHILLING” emblazoned across the back in metallic gold on white tackle twill. The rear collar is adorned with the official “MLB” logo, while the left sleeve features an embroidered “ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS” patch and a teal Rawlings logo.
A Signature of Excellence
Adding to its allure, Schilling has signed the jersey below the back player number “8” in silver pen, with the signature rating a 6 overall in our opinion. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use.
