The Hall of Fame ace Greg Maddux wore this white Atlanta Braves home jersey during the 1996 MLB season, his 11th season in the majors. Coming off a streak of four consecutive National League Cy Young awards, Maddux won 15 games with a 2.72 ERA and the best strikeout to walk ratio in MLB. Led by the trio of Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz, the Braves stormed to a 96-66 record and the National League pennant in 1996. Along with an All-Star nod, the Class of 2014 Hall of Famer picked up the seventh of his 18 career Gold Glove awards.
This button-down home jersey has “Braves” and a tomahawk logo patch sewn on the chest in red and navy tackle twill. “MADDUX” is sewn across the back shoulders in navy tackle twill over a matching white nameplate. Maddux’s number “31” is sewn on the back shoulders in red and navy tackle twill. A Wilson tag with an attached size “44” flag is sewn on the front left tail. A “96” year tag is sewn next to the Wilson tag. Maddux has signed the “3” digit on the back of the jersey in black marker. This jersey displays light wear and comes with a LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema for the game use, along with a LOA from JSA (Z85894) for the signature.
