Biggest MLB player jersey?

[ziggy]

Which player wears the largest jersey in the majors? I know Bob Wickman wore a size 58 in 2007.....I remember reading a story when he was traded to the Braves.......the team was playing in Philly and they did not have a blank jersey large enough for him so Majestic had to make them up in a hurry and drive them to Philly before the game that night.

I thought Wickman wore a 56? 56 is the largest I've seen so far...Manny's been wearing that size for awhile now, even though he really needs to be in a 50 or 52. Big Papi also wears a 56

Actually I was wrong.....Wickman did wear a 58........here's from a list of 2007 Braves jerseys......some are a 58 and some are a 56

My wife bought me an authentic MLB jersey for Christmas. It is a 56 and it is a little long on me. I am 6'2" and 260lbs - slightly fat. It amazes me that a guy like Adam Dunn doesn't wear a 56-58.

I think MAC (maybe Andy Benes) may have been the biggest Cardinal ever. I think he wore a 52-54...

Interesting to see what size Glaus wears - anyone know?

Brad Eldred wore size 56 while w/the Pirates. Two of his game issued jerseys w/team CoA's recently sold on EBay.

Grey Flannel's last auction included the following 1991 Cecil Fielder gamer which was a size 52.

I have a jersey from the tallest player ever to play MLB - JOn Rauch. The 2004 Expos jersey is a size 52 with 2" added to length and 2" added to sleeves.

C.C. Sabathia? Not sure what number size he wears but one of his purported spring training jerseys is currently being sold on EBay. It is a size 4XL (!) and looks like it could have been worn by Fat B*stard from the second Austin Power movie.
