Wade Boggs made his baseball bones with the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, but finished up his career with his home town Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He is the only player in the Hall of Fame wearing a Tampa Bay hat on his Cooperstown plaque. This gray, button down road jersey has Tampa Bay across the front in triple tackle twill underscored by a sting ray tail. The lower front tail has the Russell Athletic 48 manufacturers size tag, with attached material and “2’ extra length” flag tags. The reverse has his name BOGGS across the back with his number 12 also in triple tackle twill with appropriate shoulder patches. The back is signed boldly in black Sharpie “Wade Boggs Game Used ’99 Season.” Includes matching pants with proper tagging including player tag reading “BOGGS 35-37-28-99.” Accompanying Boggs worn New Era pro model cap features Boggs’ number 12 under bill in black marker and Boggs’ autograph and inscription, Game Used ‘99” on top of bill. All items show moderate game use, making this an outstanding Devil Rays ensemble from Wade Bogg’s historic 3000th Hit Season.
Includes two copies of Boggs signed letters, one for the uniform and another for the cap. Autographs pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
