1984 MLB All-Star Game Patch
Embroidered patch from the 1984 All-Star Game in San Francisco, Tony Gwynn’s first career All-Star selection.
Description
The 1984 season marked Tony Gwynn’s rise to stardom, capped by his first career All-Star appearance. Held at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, the game celebrated the sport’s brightest talents and marked the beginning of Gwynn’s remarkable run of 15 All-Star selections. This official embroidered patch, designed in the Giants’ orange and black, features “1984 All-Star Game” with a cable car motif honoring its host city. For Gwynn, the honor of representing the Padres on a national stage underscored his breakout season, in which he led San Diego to its first National League pennant. Preserved from that milestone summer, the patch represents not only a collectible from the midsummer classic but also the moment Tony Gwynn began establishing himself as a perennial presence among baseball’s elite.
