Located on the left front tail are a "Wilson" label and the year, "97," which is stitched in navy on a white strip tag. Located directly below the Wilson label are two flag tags: one denoting the size, "48," and the other reading "2 inch X-Length." The jersey is original, with no alterations, and displays quality overall use. Smoltz was elected to the Hall of Fame in and had a very unique career.
