    OT: Who wore (wears) the largest jersey size in MLB?

    Has anyone ever worn a size 58 or 60? (not sure there even is a size 58).

    I am trying to think of who might have had the largest jersey and what size it was.

    Maybe Cecil Fielder?


    Thoughts?

          They probably look like a truck tarp with numbers.

            the blue jays once offered a 1999 cecil fielder "game ready" jersey and it was a size 52. same size he took during his tigers heyday. fielder's last MLB season was 1998 but he was with the jays for 1999 spring training and didn't make the cut. i don't believe fielder ever went beyond a 54 if he ever even took a 54.

            anyway, to answer the question, the largest size that i know of is bob wickman at size 58. a few other players wear a 56.

              I believe CC Sabathia wore a size 56 last year with the Brewers, and Prince has the same size.

                I think this thread has been done before but I will add Livan Herrnandez has worn size 58 and 56. That may be before the Cool Base was invented because Livan liked a loose fitting jersey.

                  I THINK Carlos Zambrano went as high as a 58 in 2008.

                    Fielder wore a 52 during his brief stint with the Indians while Sabathia wore size 56 last year for the Indians before getting traded.

                      I currently own a Bob Wickman game worn Atlanta Braves jersey from 2007. It's a size 58

                        Manny Ramirez, albeit baggy because he prefers it that way, wears a 56.


                        But we'll have to wait and see if that holds up when he gets back from his 50 day vacation, now that he's off his......um........fertility drugs

                          Walter Young and Calvin Pickering have to be up there in size

                          Young was 6'5 290

                          Pickering was 6'5 280

                            I have no idea who Young is, but I recall Pickering when he played for Balt.

                            Those are the jereys I would need to find then I had the idea of buying an actual game used jersey, preferably of a scrub, and wear it my self. Problem is.....I'm 6'0 265. A big 'un. For authentics, I wear a 60. So unless a gamer is cut big...I would need to find a 60....maybe a 58.Big maybe lol

                              I wanted to add...before anyone made an issue of it....of course whichever jerey I bought to wear would NEVER be resold. I definately don't agree with people that do that. That's why I want a cheapo. Something pretty much only I would want and to go to games in...etc
