⚾ Vintage Tim Raines Montreal Expos Blue Baseball Jersey JSA COA — The Rock, Fourth on Baseball's All-Time Stolen Base List, One of the Greatest Leadoff Hitters the Sport Has Produced, His Hall of Fame Signature on the Montreal Blue That Represents the Expos' Golden Era

⚾ Tim Raines was the most complete leadoff hitter baseball produced in the 1980s — a player whose combination of on-base percentage, stolen base efficiency, and run-scoring ability made him the ideal top-of-lineup presence for the Montreal Expos during the most competitive decade of that franchise's history. Raines accumulated 808 stolen bases in his career, fourth on baseball's all-time list, with a stolen base success rate of approximately 85% — one of the most efficient rates in the game's history for a player who accumulated that volume. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2017, in his tenth and final year on the ballot, after a campaign that many observers considered one of the most overdue Hall of Fame recognitions in the modern era. This authentic Tim Raines Montreal Expos Blue Baseball Jersey, authenticated by JSA (James Spence Authentication), carries his signature on the royal blue that represents the Expos' decade of building and the Canadian baseball culture that grew around them. Condition: NOS.

🏃 808 Stolen Bases — The Most Efficient Baserunner of His Era

🏃 Tim Raines' stolen base record is defined not just by the total — 808, placing him fourth on baseball's all-time list behind Rickey Henderson, Lou Brock, and Billy Hamilton — but by the efficiency that accompanied it. His career stolen base success rate of approximately 85% means that when Raines ran, he was nearly always right, combining volume with precision in a way that made him the most dangerous baserunner in the National League during the 1980s and that produced the run-scoring totals that defined his value to the Expos.

🍁 The Montreal Expos — Baseball North of the Border

🍁 The Montreal Expos were the sport's first major league franchise outside the United States — a team that brought National League baseball to Quebec beginning in 1969 and that built some genuinely competitive rosters in the 1970s and 1980s before a combination of financial pressures and labor disputes prevented the championship that the best Expos teams might have won. Tim Raines was the defining offensive player of the Expos' most competitive era — the player whose name and jersey number the Montreal fan base most closely associated with the franchise's best baseball, a connection that makes his autographed Expos Blue Jersey one of the most specific pieces of Canadian baseball history the collector market offers. The Expos relocated to Washington DC as the Nationals in 2005, making the Montreal chapter permanent history. Condition: NOS.

🎸 The Nickname "Rock" — Cool Before It Was a Brand

🎸 Tim Raines was known as "Rock" throughout his career — a nickname earned during his early playing days and carried through a career that saw him develop into one of the National League's most recognized offensive forces. The nickname connected him to a generation of Montreal fans who followed the Expos through their most competitive years and who remember Raines' presence at the top of the lineup as the engine that made the team's offense work.
