These aren’t just cleats—they’re a story etched in dirt, sweat, and October glory. Worn by Jim “Catfish” Hunter during the early 1970's..
The Oakland A’s of the early ’70s weren’t just a team—they were a dynasty. And at the heart of that run was Catfish Hunter!
Across the three title runs, Catfish was the ace every championship club needs. 🔹 In 1972, he won a crucial Game 2 and returned in Game 6 to help force a deciding Game 7—securing the A’s first title since 1930. 🔹 In 1973, he started three games and earned the win in Game 6, setting up a dramatic Game 7 victory. 🔹 In 1974, he was at the top of his game—posting a 25–12 record with a 2.49 ERA and earning the AL Cy Young Award. He started Game 3 of the World Series and delivered when the A’s needed him most. Catfish Hunter finished his career as a 5× World Series champion, 8× All-Star, a Cy Young winner, and a perfect game pitcher. He became the first pitcher since Walter Johnson to notch 200 wins before turning 31—a symbol of both excellence and endurance. When the lights were brightest, Catfish always delivered. These cleats are more than game-worn gear—they’re a chapter of baseball history, stored away at the Hunter's estate until now. Comes with a LOA from the Hunter estate.
