This Padres road jersey, Size 56, features "Gwynn" on the back and the "San Diego Padres Baseball Club" patch on the sleeve.
This jersey was worn during his last 2 weeks in the league. 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.
