Gwynn hit .353 in 1996, and in 1997 improved that number to .372 while reaching new career highs in home runs (19) and RBI (119). Gwynn retired after the 2001 season, and he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007.

Gwynn’s number “19” is written on the back of the shirt in black marker. This shirt shows light wear, and comes with a LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema. The batting gloves navy blue, white, and gray Franklin gloves. Gwynn’s number “19”, which has been retired by the Padres, is printed on the wrists in white digits. Gwynn has signed each glove in blue marker, however his signature exhibits bleeding. The gloves come with a LOA from Alicia Gwynn.
