Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt played his entire Major League career with the Philadelphia Phillies and remains one of the premier third basemen to ever play the game of baseball. This Phillies blue away jersey features a zipper front and was worn by Mike Schmidt during the Philadelphia Phillies 1983 National League Championship season. The front features the letter "P" on the left and Schmidt's number "20" on the right; the back sports Schmidt's nameplate above his number 20, which has since been retired by the Phillies organization. A Wilson size 44 tag is sewn on the left front tail above a small hang tag reading "tapered" and a sewn-on team tag reading "83 1." Schmidt's name also appears on an embroidered tag in the collar. The jersey shows good game use. This jersey comes from the collection of Matt Minker. Minker was a long-time Baseball collector as well as president and managing partner of the Wilmington Blue Rocks. A one-of-a-kind item, a must-have for any serious Baseball collector. Comes with a Letter of Provenance, a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
