⚾ Vintage Autographed/Signed Mike Schmidt Philadelphia Phillies Pinstripe Baseball Jersey JSA COA – Hand-Signed by the Philadelphia Phillies Third Baseman Who Won Three National League Most Valuable Player Awards, Claimed Ten Gold Glove Awards as the Most Accomplished Defensive Third Baseman of His Generation, Led the Phillies to the 1980 World Series Championship, and Was Named the 1980 World Series MVP, Confirmed Authentic by James Spence Authentication

⚾ The Philadelphia Phillies pinstripe home jersey is one of the most recognizable uniforms in the history of the National League – the burgundy pinstripes on white flannel that have been the visual identity of a Philadelphia baseball tradition since the late nineteenth century, worn by the players who built the franchise's championship identity in Citizens Bank Park's predecessor at Veterans Stadium during the golden era of Phillies baseball in the 1970s and 1980s. When Mike Schmidt signed this Phillies pinstripe jersey and James Spence Authentication confirmed the signature as genuine, the result was a signed piece from the player who defined that era – the third baseman around whom the Phillies constructed their most successful roster and whose individual production during the decade of National League competition that followed his debut stands as the benchmark for the position in the modern history of the franchise. The pinstripe carries the weight of those years.

⚾ Michael Jack Schmidt was born September 27, 1949, in Dayton, Ohio, and played his college baseball at Ohio University before the Philadelphia Phillies selected him in the second round of the 1971 MLB Draft. His arrival in the major league lineup in 1972 began a seventeen-year career with one franchise that produced the most complete record at third base in the history of the National League – a player who combined the home run production that led the league eight times with the defensive excellence at third base that ten Gold Glove Awards confirm was the standard for the position across his peak years. His combination of raw power, strikeout discipline, and the kind of defensive positioning and arm strength that third base requires at the highest level gave Philadelphia a player who was simultaneously the best hitter and the best fielder at his position in the league for much of the decade between 1974 and 1986.

⚾ The 1980 Philadelphia Phillies were the team that finally converted Schmidt's individual excellence into a championship – a season in which he won the National League MVP Award and then delivered an even more dominant World Series performance against the Kansas City Royals, hitting .381 with two home runs and seven RBI in six games to earn the 1980 World Series MVP and give Philadelphia its first World Series championship in franchise history. The moments from that series – Schmidt's home run production, the Phillies' closer Tug McGraw recording the final out, the celebration in Veterans Stadium – established his standing in the city's sports identity that three NL MVP Awards (1980, 1981, 1986) and ten Gold Gloves reinforced throughout the decade. The pinstripe jersey with his autograph is the uniform from that championship identity. Condition: NOS.
