A Unique Tribute to Mother’s Day

In the world of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the spirit of the game and its traditions as poignantly as Don Mattingly’s 2016 Mother’s Day jersey. Worn by the Miami Marlins manager on this special day, the jersey is a testament to the sport’s ability to honor and celebrate significant occasions. This particular piece is distinguished by its unique design elements and the personal touch of Mattingly’s signature.

Distinctive Features and Design

The jersey is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, featuring the Majestic manufacturer’s tag size “46” on the front left tail, accompanied by an MLB hologram serial number “JB332554”. The left sleeve proudly displays the Marlins “M” team logo in pink and silver, a nod to the day’s theme, with the “Majestic” logo embroidered in pink beneath it. Across the chest, “MIAMI” is emblazoned in pink on grey on silver tackle twill, creating a striking visual impact.

• Material and Tags: Made from 100% polyester, with washing instructions on the left inseam.
• Authenticity: Features a Majestic Authentic barcode tag with size “46”.
• Unique Elements: The jersey is sans the pink ribbon, a typical feature of Mother’s Day jerseys, adding to its uniqueness.

A Signature of Excellence

On the back, the jersey bears the manager’s name “MATTINGLY” in grey tackle twill, with the number “8” below it in pink on grey tackle twill. This number is not just a symbol of Mattingly’s leadership but also a canvas for his autograph. Mattingly signed the back of the jersey inside the “8” in black marker, with the signature rating an impressive 8 in our opinion. This autograph enhances the jersey’s value, making it a coveted item for collectors and fans alike.
