⚾ Autographed/Signed Curt Schilling Philadelphia Retro Blue Baseball Jersey JSA COA – Hand-Signed by the Phillies Ace Who Spent Eight Defining Seasons in Philadelphia Before Two World Series Championships Cemented His Place Among the Greatest Postseason Pitchers in the History of the Sport – Authenticated by JSA

⚾ Curt Schilling arrived in Philadelphia in April 1992 following a trade from the Houston Astros, and what followed over the next eight seasons established him as one of the most dominant starting pitchers in the National League East and one of the premier power starters in the sport. The Phillies of the early and mid-1990s were a team defined as much by their character as their talent – Lenny Dykstra and John Kruk and Jim Eisenreich and a clubhouse that had earned the nickname “Macho Row” for the manner in which they played and the manner in which they carried themselves. In 1993, Schilling and the Phillies reached the World Series, losing to the Toronto Blue Jays in six games in a series that went down to Joe Carter's walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth in Game 6 – one of the most dramatic endings to a Fall Classic in baseball history. Schilling pitched brilliantly in that postseason, logging the innings and the strikeouts that began building the reputation for October excellence that would define his legacy. The Philadelphia retro blue jersey on this piece belongs to the era when the city's baseball team played with that kind of grit and that kind of star power, and Schilling was the arm at the center of it. Condition: NOS.

⚾ Schilling went on to win two World Series championships after his Philadelphia years – with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001, where he was named co-MVP of the World Series alongside Randy Johnson after the Diamondbacks beat the New York Yankees in seven games, and with the Boston Red Sox in 2004, where he famously pitched Game 6 of the ALCS against the Yankees with a partially torn tendon sheath in his ankle sutured in place before the game, his sock visibly stained with blood through the bottom of his uniform as he delivered seven innings in what became known as the “Bloody Sock” game. That October performance, in a Red Sox uniform at Yankee Stadium with his playoff career on the line and the sutures holding together an ankle that would require surgery the following week, stands as one of the most discussed individual postseason pitching performances in baseball history. His career statistics accumulated 3,116 strikeouts and a 3.46 ERA across 569 career appearances. The Philadelphia years were where his reputation began, and this signed retro blue jersey connects directly to that foundation. Condition: NOS.
