2006 Cubs Juan Pierre Game Batting Practice Jersey

Authentication Status:  Inconclusive

Due to the NL Patch on the right sleeve not being the correct 16 Star style patch we would not be able to attribute the wear on this jersey or for the jersey being issued to Juan Pierre.

Condition: Good, Washed,  Style is correct with special breathable material near underarm.

Modification: Player numeral “9” is sewn onto the back of the royal blue batting practice knit button-up jersey.

Wear: Ther is definite signs of wear and use on the blue knit

Tags: Magestic tagging is heat pressed onto the blue knit jersey in the front tail and would be correct.

***There is no player identifier tag in the collar. The National League patches that were used with the CUBS from 2003-2006 were the 16 star patches.  This has the 14 NL Star Patch.  Juan Pierre was traded to the CUBS in December 2005 and played during the 2006 season.  The jersey should have the correct NL Patch.

The inner wash tag is different than other batting practice styles.  The code is “0065” and most have the “A0065”  In addition, the wash tag size and font are completely different.

Size: “48”  flag tag is sewn into the inseam of the jersey.  The size is slightly larger than the jersey’s Juan Pierre was wearing during the normal season but size would be appropriate.

Photomatch: Style is similar to the photo styles seen on the field.

Provenance: No provenance was provided.
