TinCaps Auctioning Off Game-Worn Jerseys<\/strong>
\n\u201cPadres\u201d Jerseys Available at TinCapsJersey.com<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (November 4, 2019) \u2014 The Fort Wayne TinCaps are auctioning off game-worn jerseys at TinCapsJersey.com. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the TinCaps CARE program.<\/p>\n

The jerseys up for auction are the team\u2019s San Diego Padres jerseys that were worn by players and coaches during Sunday games at Parkview Field from 2017-19. The jerseys are white with navy piping and \u201cPADRES\u201d across the chest. The uniform numbers 1-39 are available, with the exception of 6, 19, 31, and 35, which are retired by the Padres.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps\u2019 Padres jerseys were sported by some of baseball\u2019s top prospects, including nine who\u2019ve already reached the major leagues. See list below.<\/p>\n

NOTE: The No. 23 jersey worn by Fernando Tatis Jr. in 2017 is not up for auction. The team is preserving that jersey for historical purposes. As an 18-year-old, Tatis set the franchise\u2019s single-season home run record with 21. He made San Diego\u2019s roster in 2019 and instantly became one of the most exciting players in the big leagues. The team ordered a new No. 23 jersey that was worn by players in 2018 and \u201919.<\/p>\n

The jersey auction is live and runs through 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, Nov. 20.<\/p>\n

Fans are encouraged to bid on jerseys regardless of their location. Winners who live outside of the area can make arrangements to have their jersey delivered by mail.<\/p>\n

Thanks in part to financial support from the Padres, the TinCaps CARE program allows the team to donate tickets to non-profit organizations in the Fort Wayne area that benefit members of the community facing hardships. In 2019, the TinCaps donated more than 1,000 tickets to 18 different non-profits.<\/p>\n
