1984 San Diego Padres Championship Ring
 

$8K. I obtained this ring directly from baseball star Bobby Tolan. Tolan played his career with multiple teams including the St Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates. After his playing career he coached for the San Diego Padres from 1980-1983. During the 1981 strike Tolan went to Walla Walla, Washington where he was Tony Gwynn’s first hitting coach. Gwynn debuted with the Padres in the 1982 season. In 1984 Tolan managed the Beaumont Golden Gators; a AA affiliate with the Padres. This affiliation warranted him this Championship ring. Exceptional ring with typical wear. Ring was manufactures by Balfour. “Balfour” and “10K” stamp on inner band. Ring is approx size 10. Also, includes COA from Tolan. In the COA he identified their loss vs the Yankees, but it was actually the Tigers they lost the Series too. Winning bidder pays 35.00 for registered mail.

I am sure that the ring is authentic and it is stunning for the right collector, but if you are still in contact with Tolan, you might want him to fix the COA. The 1984 Padres lost to the Detroit Tigers, not the New York Yankees.

Tolan was a pretty awesome player in his own right for the early 70s Reds.

Yea, I don't know how he messed that up. I did make a note of it in my write-up.

That should have been my ring! LOL

I worked for the Cubs in 1984 and we lost to the Padres. All these years later it still hurts especially knowing we were due to have home field advantage but had it taken away because of the lack of lights.

Awesome ring and good luck with the sale!
