Offered is a San Francisco Giants road jersey dating to hurler Mark Grant's rookie campaign with the club in 1984. Wilson size 44 tag sewn to tail of the jersey above a strip reading "43 84" indicating the uniform number and year of issue while "Purchased from San Francisco Giants" is stamped on the inner button tape. Interlocking "SF" team logo and uniform number 43 are sewn to the jersey in black on orange double tackle twill while "Grant" is sewn to the reverse via nameplate. An original 1984 All Star Game patch is also present on the left sleeve. Available references indicate Grant wore numbers 34 & 47, but not number 43, during his regular season stints with the Giants in 1984 so it is possible this was a jersey issued during spring training before the indecisive youngster had settled on a number.
