Carl Yastrzemski’s 1977 Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
A Legendary Career
Carl Yastrzemski, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, is celebrated as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. An 18-time All-Star, Yastrzemski’s illustrious career is adorned with seven Gold Gloves and membership in the prestigious 3000 hit club. As the Boston Red Sox’s all-time leader in career RBIs, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases, and games played, his legacy is etched in the annals of baseball history.
The 1977 Jersey: A Testament to Greatness
This remarkable jersey, worn by Yastrzemski during the 1977 season, is a testament to his enduring legacy. The front center tail features a 1977 year tag alongside a tag with washing instructions, while the inside below the rear collar boasts a “TIM McAULIFFE UNIFORM CORP” manufacturer’s tag with an attached size “42” tag. Across the chest, the iconic “RED SOX” is emblazoned, with the player number “8” proudly displayed on the back. All numbering and lettering are crafted in red on navy blue tackle twill, a classic design befitting a player of Yastrzemski’s stature.
Condition and Significance
The jersey bears the marks of its storied past, with a ring formed on the player number “8” from improper laundering. Yet, this imperfection only adds to the narrative of this extraordinary artifact. Yastrzemski himself signed the front of the jersey in black marker, with the signature rating a 9 in our expert opinion. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion shows excellent use.
