Lot 1157: 1980s Atlanta Braves Bruce Sutter Game Worn Road Jersey

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $200.00
Winning Bid: $395.88
Price Realized: $473.08
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

The tomahawk across Bruce Sutter's game-worn jersey still has some chop left, but it shows numerous washings to indicate that Sutter saved the day in it plenty for the Braves in the mid-1980s. There's stressed stitching around the nameplate and numbers, too, of the Rawlings Size 46 dark blue polyster knit. Sutter, a Cy Young-winning reliever who baffled hitters with a split-fingered fastball, pitched the last three of his 12 seasons for Atlanta, recording 40 of his 300 saves. With his jersey, everyday will feel like two outs in the ninth with a one-run lead and a man on second. The last out is just around the corner.
