One of the interesting quirks of Ted Patterson's collection was his penchant for attempting to acquire game-worn jerseys from major league players with the name "Patterson." This is one such example a 1989 Pittsburgh Pirates home jersey belonging to pitcher Bob Patterson a steady journeyman who pitched for 13 seasons between 1985 and 1998 doing time with five different teams in the process compiling a 39-40 record mostly in relief. In 1989 Patterson posted a 4-3 record with a 4.05 ERA and one save in 12 games pitched. His next season Patterson would become a valuable part of the Pirates bullpen and he would pitch in at least 50 games a season for all but one of the next 7 years. Patterson's size 42 Rawlings jersey is in stellar condition showing signs of heavy use including some light staining and dirt. An outstanding presentation with a perfect grade of A10 assigned by MEARS. Full LOA from MEARS.
