Here's an amazing full uniform from the great slugger Mark McGwire from his "Bash Brothers" days as one of the young stars on those championship A's teams in the late 1980's and early 1990's. The massive Size 48 gray road jersey has the appropriate Rawlings tagging on the inside-left tail, adjacent to green embroidered stitching of "1 90 Plus 2." The shirt shows good game use and is problem free, with only the barest whisper of any fraying to the green stitching front or back. The A's Elephant patch appears on the left sleeve and the 1990 All-Star Game Chicago Cubs patch on the right. The Size 34 pants have the Rawlings patch on the back waist alongside green embroidered stitching of "25 90 34-36 28" and smaller "Set 1 1990" adjacent tag. There are numerous hand markings with black marker along the waistband of other names and numbers, many crossed out. The pants show enormous game use, including significant wear on the backside from sliding, including some team repair in that area.
Includes a Letter of Provenance from The Newport Sports Museum.
