1974 Eddie Mathews Atlanta Braves Game Used Home Jersey MEARS A10

Introduction

Atlanta Braves home jersey worn by Hall of Famer Eddie Mathews (manager from 1972 to 1974) during the historic 1974 season in which Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s long-standing all-time home run record. Graded A10 by MEARS, the white-and-blue knit jersey is lettered “Braves” across the front and features the number “41” on the left breast and reverse. All letters and numerals are appliqud in blue-on-white tackle twill (with red Swiss embroidered edging). The Braves “feather” emblem adorns each sleeve. Both the year and jersey size (“74 44”) are chain-stitched in black upon a white strip tag in the collar. Also located in the collar, directly above the tag, is a “Wilson 44” label. The jersey is original as issued, with no alterations, and displays moderate wear. A member of baseball’s elite 500 Home Run Club, Mathews retired after the 1968 season with 512 home runs, 1,453 RBI, and a .271 lifetime average. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1978. Graded A10 by MEARS (base grade of 10, with no deductions). Full LOA from MEARS.
