Gwynn’s game-used official Russell Athletic pinstriped San Diego Padres home jersey from the 1998 season. The white knit shell features blue pinstripes with "Padres" stitched across front in blue-on-white-on-orange tri-tone tackle twill, "Gwynn" stitched directly across shoulders in navy blue tackle twill, and his number "19" applied in the tri-tone tackle format below. The correct Russell Athletic manufacturer’s tag is sewn to the front left tail, with two adjacent flag tags to indicate size and material, “100% Polyester, 48,” and alterations, “+2″ Extra Length.” The classic Padres team logo patch is sewn to the left sleeve, and the 1998 World Series that would have adorned the right sleeve has since been removed, though evidence of it remains in a light outline and stitching remnants; based on this, it would logically follow that Gwynn wore this jersey during the World Series. The jersey displays nice overall use throughout. A significant piece of memorabilia from the late Hall of Famer, worn during his beloved franchise’s greatest season. RR Auction COA.
