Game-Worn Jerseys of Yunel Escobar and Edgar Renteria: A Tribute to Baseball Excellence
Introduction to the Jerseys
In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game like a game-worn jersey. These jerseys are not just pieces of fabric; they are woven with the history and achievements of the players who wore them. Today, we explore two such remarkable jerseys, worn by Yunel Escobar and Edgar Renteria, each telling its own unique story.
Yunel Escobar’s Atlanta Braves Jersey
The first jersey in this distinguished collection is that of Yunel Escobar, a player known for his skill and finesse on the field. This jersey features the iconic “Atlanta” script across the chest, accompanied by the team’s Tomahawk logo, all crafted in red on navy blue tackle twill. The player number “19” adorns the back, along with Escobar’s name in navy blue tackle twill on a grey nameplate. The official “MLB” logo is embroidered above, adding a touch of authenticity and prestige.
- Manufacturer’s Tag: Majestic tag with size “48” flag tag.
- Signature: Signed by Escobar on the player number “9” in black pen, rated a 7 overall.

Presented to us as game-used, this jersey is a testament to Escobar’s time with the Braves and is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA.
Edgar Renteria’s Atlanta Braves Jersey
The second jersey belonged to Edgar Renteria, another luminary in the world of baseball. This jersey mirrors the design of Escobar’s, with the player name “RENTERIA” on a grey nameplate and the number “11” below. A unique feature of this jersey is the “LB 33 JS” baseball patch on the left sleeve, honoring Lew Burdette and Johnny Sain, two legends of the game.
