Pete Rose is the MLB all-time leader in hits with 4,256. Rose won three World Series and took home World Series MVP honors one time. A three-time regular season National League MVP, Rose was named to the MLB’s All-Century Team and was a three-time NL batting champion. During the 1970 campaign Rose led the Reds to the National League Pennant behind his .316 batting average and 205 hits. On the front left tail is the Wilson manufacturer’s tag size “42” with washing instructions. Adjacent below reads the year “1970” embroidered in red chain stitching. In the rear collar is a grey strip tag reading the player name “Rose” also embroidered in red chain stitch. Across the chest reads “CINCINNATI” in red on white tackle twill. The player number “14” appears on the front and back and across the back is the player name “ROSE”. These are done in red tackle twill. Rose signed the front of the jersey in blue marker with the added inscription “Hit King #4256” and in our opinion the signature rates a 9. The name on back has been restored and there are condition issues present including separating of the collar and minor staining on the front. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. Accompanied by a Photo-Match.com LOA confirming the match and a Full LOA from JSA for the signature.
