Description

This game-used jersey, complete with its commemorative patch, marks the day of Tony Gwynn’s final hit during his illustrious 20-year career with the San Diego Padres and Major League Baseball. On October 6th, 2001, in front of a packed Qualcomm Stadium, Gwynn recorded the last hit of his storied career—a memorable RBI double, his 3,141st career hit—during the Padres' penultimate game of the season against the Colorado Rockies.

This historic hit became a fitting finale to one of baseball’s greatest hitting careers, demonstrating Gwynn's unparalleled ability at the plate. Though this game was played the day before his final Major League appearance, the RBI double was his last contribution to the scoreboard, making this jersey a lasting symbol of Gwynn’s on-field excellence.

The jersey’s commemorative patch further enhances its significance, representing Gwynn’s legendary career and his deep connection to San Diego. This piece of memorabilia stands as a tribute to his dedication, humility, and love for the game.

In 2001, all MLB teams wore U.S. flag patches on their jerseys and caps for the remainder of the season, honoring the victims of the September 11 attacks and showing solidarity through the World Series.
