1997

White jersey has "Braves" team name across the front and number "29" on back below a "Smoltz" nameplate. On the right sleeve is a Jackie Robinson 50th Anniversary patch as worn League wide. Wilson tag on the front tail has adjacent size 48 flag and "97" embroidered year tags. Strong use and wash wear are evident throughout and there is some very minor toning/discoloration. Smoltz added 15 win to his burgeoning career total in 1997 helping Atlanta to an NL East Division title. Alongside fellow Hall of Famers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux he helped form the core of a devastating Atlanta bullpen which dominated the National League throughout the period. A fantastic example from one of the great pitchers of the modern era. Includes LOA from Dave Grob/SGC and graded "Superior": EX
