Old school yellow jersey worn by Bill Madlock during the 1982 season for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Arched nameplate correct for the era, Wilson size 42 showing signs of many washings. The jersey itself shows very nice wear with all identifiers displaying fraying with inside pilling. The year tag showing 5 82 for player number and season also shows nice signs of wear. Nice jersey to add to any Pirates collection.
Bill Madlock is a former professional baseball player and coach. He played in Major League Baseball as a third baseman from 1973 to 1987 for five teams: Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates and the Los Angles Dodgers. Madlock is three-time All-Star, World Series Champion and is most notable for being a four-time National League batting champion. His four batting titles as a third baseman was a record until 1988 and he is also one of only three right-handed hitters to have won multiple National League batting titles since 1960.

After retiring he still managed to find work in baseball, as a hitting coach with the Detroit Tigers in 2000-2001, and was named an assistant to the vice president of on-field operations in Commissioner Bud Selig’s office in 2002. In 2003, Madlock was hired to manage the Newark Bears of the independent Atlantic League.
