Which player wears the largest jersey in the majors? I know Bob Wickman wore a size 58 in 2007.....I remember reading a story when he was traded to the Braves.......the team was playing in Philly and they did not have a blank jersey large enough for him so Majestic had to make them up in a hurry and drive them to Philly before the game that night.

I thought Wickman wore a 56? 56 is the largest I've seen so far...Manny's been wearing that size for awhile now, even though he really needs to be in a 50 or 52. Big Papi also wears a 56

My wife bought me an authentic MLB jersey for Christmas. It is a 56 and it is a little long on me. I am 6'2" and 260lbs - slightly fat. It amazes me that a guy like Adam Dunn doesn't wear a 56-58.

I think MAC (maybe Andy Benes) may have been the biggest Cardinal ever. I think he wore a 52-54...

Interesting to see what size Glaus wears - anyone know?

Brad Eldred wore size 56 while w/the Pirates. Two of his game issued jerseys w/team CoA's recently sold on EBay.

Grey Flannel's last auction included the following 1991 Cecil Fielder gamer which was a size 52.

Anybody have any info on minor league firstbasemen Walter Young?

His jerseys have to be huge

Last time I checked he was 6'5 325

I have a jersey from the tallest player ever to play MLB - JOn Rauch. The 2004 Expos jersey is a size 52 with 2" added to length and 2" added to sleeves.

In 2003, Troy Glaus wore a size 52 with 3" added body length and 2" added sleeve length.

Does anybody know what size Frank Howard wore as a coach?

C.C. Sabathia? Not sure what number size he wears but one of his purported spring training jerseys is currently being sold on EBay. It is a size 4XL (!) and looks like it could have been worn by Fat B*stard from the second Austin Power movie.
