In 1979, the Philadelphia Phillies acquired Pete Rose to be the player that would put them over the edge and into the World Series. Rose became the highest-paid athlete in team sports when they signed him to a four-year, $3.2-million contract as a free agent. On the inside below the rear collar is a “Wilson” size “42” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions. Across the chest reads, “Phillies”, the player number “14” appears on the left sleeve and on the back and across the back reads the player name “ROSE”. All numbering and lettering are done in white tackle twill sewn directly onto the burgundy jersey. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as player-worn and in our opinion shows appropriate use.
