In mid-1984 Cleveland traded a struggling Rick Sutcliffe to the Chicago Cubs for Mel Hall and Joe Carter. Sutcliffe caught fire and the Cubs did too as won 16 games for the Cubbies while losing only one helping them to the division championship. On October 2 1984 he started the first game of the NLCS against the San Diego Padres giving up two hits and no runs not only gaining the victory but also hitting a home run in the third inning. Sutcliffe won the Cy Young Award with a unanimous vote beating out Dwight Gooden and Bruce Sutter.He also finished fourth in the league MVP voting. He retired with a career record of 171139 with an ERA of 4.08. He holds the unique distinction of having won each of the following league awards once each and each in a different season: Rookie of the Year (1979) Cy Young Award (1984) ERA leader (1982) and wins leader (1987). Here then is an historic artifact from that Cy Young Award-winning campaign a wonderful game-worn home uniform. Inside the collar is the Size 48 Wilson manufacturers tag; below is a strip tag with 40 84 / 48. At the left chest is the team large CUBS patch done in red white and blue embroidery. On back is player number 40 done in blue tackle twill. On the left sleeve is the team Cub Head patch. A small "84" tag appears on the lower front tail. The jersey is properly tagged and shows light use. The pants are a wonderful complement showing even more game use and remaining problem free. The Size 35 Wilson tag appears at the back of the waistband alongside a white felt strip tag with "40 84 3 35 28." The zipper (working) and two-snap pants have two handwritten marker notations of "Hector" on the inside of the back pockets.
Includes a Letter of Provenance from The Newport Sports Museum.
