There are precious few hitters in major league baseball history that have laid lumber to cowhide more successfully that San Diego Padres outfielder Tony Gwynn. A career .338 hitter, which ranks 2nd only to Ted Williams in the post-war era, Gwynn has captured eight National League batting titles, surpassing the .300 mark 19 consecutive seasons! Presented is a game-used and autographed blue alternative style jersey of Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn from the 1999 season. The front left tail has the stitched Russell Athletic size 50 label with handwritten "3030, 3031 9/3/99 vs. FLA", and repeated on the reverse in white embroidery, denoting that the jersey was worn by Gwynn during a two-hit game vs. the Marlins in September. The left sleeve has a "1969-1999", 30th Anniversary San Diego Padres patch, while the easily recognizable Tony Gwynn signature is boldly penned on the reverse. LOA from Mile High Card Co.
