Brooks Robinson Photo Matched Game Used Signed 1975 Baltimore Orioles Jersey
$34,995.00
There's never been another baseball player in major league history quite like Brooks Robinson. While virtually all members of the Baseball Hall of Fame earned their honor based solely on their offensive prowess, "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" got the nod based on a combination of a solid offensive body of work and a defensive reputation that is unprecedented to this day. Brooks raked 268 homers while wrapping out 2,848 hits and leading the American League in RBI in his MVP season of 1964, improving in post-season play with a career .303 average (a 36-point bump from his lifetime batting average) and was World Series MVP in 1970. But the 16 consecutive gold gloves he earned at the hot corner were just the icing on the cake for punching his ticket to Cooperstown. "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" earned his last gold glove in 1975 while donning this Wilson size 42 gamer, as confirmed by the tagging inside the collar. Robinson has signed the jersey on the left tail in bold black marker next to a team-stitched "75 1" swatch to verify the year and set number. Light to moderate puckering is evident on the all-original stitched identifiers and the jersey has been authenticated by MEARS with a perfect score of A10, citing heavy game use, and photomatched by Sports Investors (Getty Images 142648352)
A truly amazing jersey from a popular Hall of Famer and arguably the best defensive player of the modern era. LOA from MEARS Graded A10, LOA Sports Investors With Photo Match.
