David Ortiz’s 2004 Game-Used Red Sox Jersey: A Legendary Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Artifact from a Baseball Legend

David Ortiz, affectionately known as “Big Papi,” is celebrated as one of the greatest designated hitters in the history of Major League Baseball. His remarkable career is highlighted by his exceptional achievements in home runs, RBIs, and hits. This 2004 game-used Red Sox jersey is a testament to his legendary status and a cherished piece of baseball memorabilia that captures the essence of his illustrious career.

Detailed Description of the Jersey

The jersey features a “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, accompanied by washing instructions. Below it, a “2004” year tag and two flag tags reading “54 100% POLYESTER” and “+1” EXTRA LENGTH” are attached. The chest proudly displays “RED SOX,” while the back showcases the player number “34,” both rendered in navy blue on white tackle twill, seamlessly sewn onto the vibrant red jersey. The left sleeve bears the Russell Athletic logo, and the official “MLB” logo is embroidered on the rear neckline.

Adding to its authenticity, a PSA/DNA sticker “F94914” is affixed to the player number “4.” Adjacent to this, Ortiz has signed the jersey in black pen, inscribing “Game Use 04,” a signature that, in our opinion, rates an 8 overall. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA and an additional LOA, further solidifying its provenance.
