7/25/2009 Trevor Hoffman Negro League Tribune/Milwaukee Bears TBTC Bench Worn & Autographed Home Uniform

Trevor Hoffman’s Milwaukee Brewers Retro Jersey

A Piece of Baseball History

On the memorable day of July 25, 2009, the Milwaukee Brewers took to the field against the Atlanta Braves, donning retro uniforms that harkened back to a bygone era of baseball. Among these uniforms was a jersey belonging to the legendary closer, Trevor Hoffman. Although Hoffman did not pitch during this game, the jersey he presumably wore on the bench stands as a testament to his illustrious career and the rich history of the Brewers.

Jersey Details and Authenticity

The jersey is a remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia, featuring the “AIS” manufacturer’s tag on the left front tail, complete with wash instructions and a jersey size of “50”. The MLB hologram sticker, numbered “LH 620720”, further attests to its authenticity. Across the front of the jersey is emblazoned “BEARS”, while the player number “51” graces the neck, both crafted in blue tackle twill. Hoffman’s signature, rendered in black marker, graces the front of the jersey, rated an impressive 8 for its clarity and preservation.

Accompanying Pants and Tags

The ensemble is completed with pants that bear the same “AIS” tag inside the rear waistband, marked with size “36” and an attached flag tag “28”. Adjacent to these is a strip tag featuring the player number “51”. The jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as bench worn and in our opinion, shows no use. This unique piece is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA for the signature, ensuring its place as a coveted item in any sports memorabilia collection.
