Late 1990s Lance Berkman & Wayne Graham Rice Owls Game-Used Jerseys

Legendary Rice University Jerseys: A Tribute to Baseball Excellence

The Rise of a Baseball Icon

Before Lance Berkman became a celebrated six-time Major League All-Star and a 2011 World Series champion, he honed his skills at Rice University. During his collegiate career, Berkman amassed an impressive 67 home runs, 272 RBIs, and a remarkable .385 batting average, setting the stage for his illustrious professional journey.

A Piece of Baseball History

We are thrilled to present two extraordinary jerseys that encapsulate the spirit of Rice University’s baseball legacy. The first is a jersey worn by Berkman himself, featuring the iconic “RICE” emblazoned across the chest. The player number “27” graces both the front and back, all crafted in navy blue on white tackle twill. The jersey bears the “Sports Belle” manufacturer’s tag, size “L”, a testament to its authenticity and connection to Berkman’s collegiate days.

In addition to Berkman’s jersey, we proudly offer a Wayne Graham home jersey. This piece, adorned with “Rice” across the front and the manager number “37” on both the front and back, is a tribute to the legendary coach who guided the team to numerous victories. The Rawlings manufacturer’s tag, size “44”, with washing instructions, is attached to the rear collar, further attesting to its authenticity.
