The late Tony Gwynn, an eight-time NL batting champion who earned 15 All-Star nominations and five Gold Glove awards, was an easy choice as a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2007. Gwynn, a career .338 hitter, donned this signed, game-used San Diego Padres Majestic size 50 button-down home jersey in 2001, his final season in Major League Baseball.

     Gwynn signed the reverse side “1” of his number “19” jersey in bold, silver Sharpie on the back of the jersey. “PADRES” is featured across the chest in navy blue on white tackle twill, along with his number “19”, which is sewn on in navy blue on the front center left. “GWYNN” appears across the top back of the jersey in navy blue tackle twill just below the MLB logo patch colored in blue, white and orange. Gwynn’s number “19” is found on the center back of the jersey in navy blue on white tackle twill. Navy blue piping runs around the collar and down both sides of the buttons, with the same piping an inch offl the sleeve ends. The left sleeve of the jersey boasts a San Diego Padres Baseball Club patch, while the front tail is home to a “Russell Athletic Authentic Collection” manufacturer’s label. Below is a size “50” and “100% POLYESTER” tag. This jersey shows light use and comes with a COA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (B54297) for the signature and a LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema.
