    1995 Ozzie Smith Game Worn St. Louis Cardinals Home Jersey

    Ozzie Smith, known throughout baseball as "The Wizard," is widely regarded as one of the best fielding shortstops of all time, redefining the position in his nearly two decades of work at one of the game's most demanding positions. Always a base-stealing threat who would later turn himself into an above-average hitter, the fleet-footed and acrobatic Smith used his glove and athletic skill to make plays for the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals that often left those watching in true amazement. Elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002, Smith won 13 Gold Glove awards, was named to 15 All-Star teams, collected 2,460 hits, and stole 580 bases.
    This home white St. Louis Cardinals jersey was worn by Ozzie Smith during the 1995 baseball season. Tagged on the inside of the tail with a Rawlings wash tag, a size 42 flag tag, a 1" shorter flag tag and a "Set 1 1995" flag tag. This jersey has a custom hemmed straight tail and exhibits moderate evidence of game use (wash wear, some staining). Most importantly, this jersey was originally purchased directly from Ozzie Smith's 643 Marketing Company. It comes with a letter of authenticity on their letterhead signed by Ozzie himself. A scarce Hall of Fame knit documented by the player himself! Consigned by Rob Steinmetz.View Lot Detail page

    Hey Rob,

    I was wondering if you would elborate a little more on the actual use of the jersey. Does the COA describe it as a game used jersey? Any other details would be greatly appreciated.

      Bill,

      I will post a more detailed account on the use on the Ozzie Smith jersey ASAP. Regarding the LOA....it does state that the jersey was GAME USED. The LOA is also hand-signed by Ozzie.

      Stay tuned.

      Best,

      Rob

        Bill,

        To follow up on this thread, I wanted to provide you with more information on the use on this Ozzie Smith jersey. The most visible use on this jersey comes in the form of some light staining: near the collar, on the tail, and near the number on the back. There is also overall evidence of light wash wear, as mentioned in the original item description. With all that said, this is a great example of a late career Ozzie Smith gamer.

        If you have other questions, let me know.

        Best,

        Rob
