White Padres vs. Rockies (Mexico April ’99) Opening Day Polo Shirt
White polo from the Tony Gwynn Estate commemorating the 1999 Opening Day game between the Padres and Rockies in Monterrey, Mexico—the first MLB Opening Day held outside the U.S. or Canada.
Description
White polo shirt featuring the official logo from the April 1999 Opening Day matchup between the San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies in Monterrey, Mexico. That game marked the first time an MLB Opening Day was held outside the United States or Canada. The shirt was collected by Tony Gwynn and reflects both a landmark moment in Major League Baseball’s international presence and a milestone year in Gwynn’s Hall of Fame career. Later that season, he would record his 3,000th career hit—further solidifying his legacy as one of the game’s greatest hitters.
