Steve Sax Dodgers World Series Rings and Memorabilia at Auction

Written by Monte Jennings | Apr 6, 2023 7:02:38 PM

Have you ever wanted to won a World Series ring? Perhaps a historic jersey. Maybe your very own MLB Rookie of the Year trophy. No need to suit up for an MLB game; five-time All-Star Steve Sax is offering these and more in the next SCP auction.

Steve Sax has a very good MLB career. From 1981 to 1994, Sax won two World Series (1981, 1988), a Rooke of the Year award (1981), and five All-Star teams. He even made an appearance in a famous Simpsons episode, Homer at the Bat. Sax is now offering up his personal memorabilia at auction including his rings and trophies! A portion of the sales will go towards a foundation Sax set up for his late son, John -The  Capt. John J. Sax Foundation.

Your chance to own treasured items is coming this month to SCP Auctions. SCP's Spring Premier Auction opens on April 12th and a few of the Steve Sax items on-hand are:

  • 1981 World Series ring
  • 1988 World Series ring
  • Player trophies from both World Series wins
  • 1982 Rookie of the Year award
  • All-Star rings from 1982, 1983, 1986, 1989, and 1990
  • 1981 World Series Game 1 worn jersey 

Game one of the 1988 World Series ended in historic fashion. Kirk Gibson was called in to pinch hit with two hours in the bottom of the 9th inning while down 4--3. Gibson had injuries to both legs and could not start the game, but with one swing of the bat, his home run off of A's closer, Dennis Eckersley, made history. Steve Sax was on deck during this at-bat, witnessing the movement from the best spot in the house. The jersey did more than see the Gibson home run, too. Sax had a hit, stole a base, and scored a run in this game-worn jersey. 

If high-end sports memorabilia is what you collect, you'll want in on this auction. Straight from Steve Sax himself, you could own some truly rare items.
