This is the last Reds uniform worn by Rose before his departure to the Philadelphia Phillies. Gray, road jersey was the only style worn by the Red's players on their historic Tour of Japan. Jersey has "CINCINNATI" and "14" on the front while "ROSE" is sewn directly on the back with "14" below. Rawlings size 44 tag sewn inside the front tail. No set tag as many of the post season Tour jerseys did not have them. Pants have Rawlings size 32 and "14 32 24 78" strip tagging sewn inside the waist band. "SET 2" flag tag is present and "2" is written on the strip tag in black marker. Circular "R" patch is sewn on the right thigh for Tour sponsor, Rawlings. Comes with an LOA explaining how this uniform was obtained from the Reds in a lottery style drawing after the players returned home from the Tour.
Condition: Fine use is evident on the jersey and pants.
